Message: <blockquote data-quote="iHs" data-source="post: 797973" data-attributes="member: 8799">[USER=47413]@HaroldC[/USER] As a pump, the Vibe is fairly good.  The downside to it, is the lcd screen display outside in sunny weather which isnt very good.  I had to increase the contrast setting up to the maximum and also get longer tubes so that I could see the display by holding the pump just below waist level tilted slightly and turn my back to the sun so that my body provided the shade.  My main reason for switching to the Vibe from the Combo was to use Dexcom cgm but dont think the screen display on the Vibe will be any good to see what my glucose levels are doing in bright daylight.  Infusion sets are good most of the time.  The Inset 30 knocks spots of the other 30 degree angle sets and literally fires in to the skin quickly and more or less painless. The introducer needle is slightly thinner and sharper than the Tenderlink. Re the other pumps......the Accu chek Insight no longer uses luer tubes, instead the tubes connect to the pump using some black connection thing.  Medtronic have always used their own design connection tubes and so its only Animas that use Luer.  This makes it a bit impossible to use other brands of sets, although Animas sell an adaptor for the Medtronic.Although Animas UK cannot offer any technical help for the Vibe, Animas USA can, and the call is free using the 0800 number.</blockquote>
