Same load of bloody useless alarms going off while I'm driving. How about a "driving mode" where the pump will stfu unless there is a major issue like a hypo alarm or a total failure? I am a lot more likely to die trying to deactivate some pointless alarm while driving than I am because the "check BG" or "under 50 units" alarm has gone off.
How about a car kit to hold the pump?
How about the OK button has some bumps on it so I can find it by feel and cancel alarms without having to fish my pump out and look?
Changing the point the alarm goes off doesn't really reduce the chances of it going off while driving much, and greatly increases the **** ache involved if it does. Yes I do sit the pump in my lap at times. Not sure the police would approve.@Spiker are you by any chance alarming?
The 50 unit alarm is easy to fix just change the quantity to 10 units problem solved.
Sit the pump on your lap whilst driving button can be felt quite easily then. Must admit I very rarely have a pump alarm go off. Most frequent is the low blood sugar.

Thanks Sally. Is it really possible to get 100cm tubing? How much insulin do you lose in priming that?A car GripGo works really well with an insulin pump as long as 100cm tube is used lol
Only time I hear an alarm is when I'm down to 20 units, which rarely happens, thank goodness.Same load of bloody useless alarms going off while I'm driving.

Same here! What are these other alarms?Only time I hear an alarm is when I'm down to 20 units, which rarely happens, thank goodness.
I sincerely hope they do not go down the prefilled cartridge route, unless ordinary pen cartridges go in the pump. If they do a bespoke cartridge with analogue insulin in it then I will not be able to use the pump as allergic to analogue insulin'sI chose the Animas Vibe for its ability to integrate with the Dexcom CGM and also because it was waterproof and I still like it for all its faults, but Animas Vibe 2 will hopefully have pre-filled cartridges or a see-through window in the pump so that you can detect any air bubbles without having to remove the cartridge from the pump unnecessarily and also a quicker way to get to 'Status' without all the scrolling.
