The New OneTouch Ping!

New from J&J’s Animas/OneTouch is the OneTouch Ping Glucose Management System. This represents a positive step in pump convenience and (dare we say) “cool” factor. The new, exciting element is that the OneTouch Ping pump is wirelessly linked to the OneTouch Ping glucose meter via a remote control. This means that after you test your blood sugar with the meter, you can send insulin dosage information wirelessly to the pump without ever having to touch the pump – very similar to the OmniPod System though the pump is traditional rather than disposable. Equally impressive, blood glucose and pump data can be downloaded either from the pump or the meter to a Mac or a PC – big plus for Apple fans! Finally, being able to use our Mac to analyze our numbers – thank you! Like the 2020, the pump is waterproof and has the hip color screen - the system will eventually be available in a range of colors. Come August, you can get a Ping system, either an upgrade at reasonable (still undisclosed) cost or as a brand new system. See www.animascorp.com for more details.
