I get it honest.  For example, I spent the last few days worrying that my DOTC agility entry wouldn&#8217;t get in.  It&#8217;s a trivial thing, but we only go to a few agility trials a year &#8212; just the ones in the local area.  Plus they have increased the entry limits, so I shouldn&#8217;t worry any more.  But I do.  First, I&#8217;ve screwed up my entries before, and have gotten the wrong address on the envelope.  I do that about once a year.  There is also the opportunity to mail the entry too early.<\/p>\n<p>But about Animas.<\/p>\n<p>I like dealing with a small company that is committed to one product.  For example, Therasense was great.  All of their employees cared, the few times I&#8217;ve talked with them.  Before Abbott bought them, I dealt with customer support about 3 times.  I will admit I&#8217;ve only dealt with Abbott customer support once, but I wasn&#8217;t super impressed at the time.  Maybe they are better now.<\/p>\n<p>And maybe Animas won&#8217;t change.   That&#8217;s what I am hoping for, but I haven&#8217;t been impressed by the diabetes support by the large companies.  I also have not been impressed by the Lifescan meters.  But I am going to give both the One Touch and the One Touch Ultra another try when I see my CDE on Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First, I worry a lot. I get it honest.
