Animas Vibe or Accuchek Spirit Combo?

How many segments do you have Mike?

I'm pretty sure it's a possible 48 in 24hrs, but my most complex pattern requires a maximum of 9:

12.00a 0.425
3.00a 0.425
5.00a 0.650
7.00a 0.700
10.30a 0.625
2.00p 0.500
3.30p 0.425
8.00p 0.500
10.00p 0.425

Sometimes I need to drop the level at 3am, but I haven't needed that recently. Helps to keep that slot in there though as otherwise I need to update all the following slots one by one to add that in!

I do the exact same with keeping "slots" in. It really irks me that you lose the following basals if you pop a new one in. I try to remember to jot them down now if I make any changes. It is one thing I would want to change on a newer design - that it doesn't lose those other basals.

I have a combo and it is really fantastic. The bolus wizard works out how much insulin you need for meals. The handset means that you don't have to fiddle around finding and setting the pump because the handset will do it. All in all I think it's a really great pump.

I don't know where my days go. I've spent all week "intending" to read the online manuals for both pumps so I'm more informed and as yet have got near neither of them.

Thanks Mike & Adrienne for the information regarding slots, and Spiritfree for endorsing the combo.

Oops, sorry, where did I get Adrienne from???? Clearly I am going senile.
