New Animas Pump

Pumpers, be alerted! Last week, Animas launched the new Animas 2020 insulin pump, now the smallest traditional pump on the market. Some of the 2020's features include a backlit organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screen, which is supposed to deliver brighter and clearer images than traditional pump screens, and greater precision of dosing (the minimum adjustment increment will be 0.025 U/hr). We think these features could be particularly helpful for young children or anyone who is highly sensitive to insulin, and the improvement to the display screen is a benefit to folks with decreased vision. We know that for pumps, what's right for one pumper isn't for another, but it's terrific to see new alternatives, that's for sure!
