Things I like about my IR1250

First, 500 food entries are a lot. If someone upgrades from an IR1200, don’t feel cheated, as I barely have 100 in mine. Mostly things I might eat if I don’t have my Treo handy.

I think I’ll still be using the Treo, but I’ll probably let the pump calculate the units, since it slices finer than the Treo.

I love the vibrate alarm 1 hour after I bolus. I might change it to two, haven’t decided. I had been checking two hours after, but with the IOB, checking an hour works okay too.

I don’t have to have vibrate, I could have a tone, but vibrate is better.

So far the cartridge isn’t a probably but even on my worst days later, I’m using less than 60 units a day.

The cartridges are great. I’ve filled two in a row with absolutely no bubbles. Much easier than the IR1000.

Since I have plenty of insulin, (I’ve reduced my intake from 120 units a day to 60), for right now, I’m planning to completely fill the cartridge. I’m not sure how much I’ll have left after priming, etc.

I’ll do that for a few days.
