Potential benefits from using the Animas
• Several safety features are built into the Animas
exceed the basal or bolus insulin limits that you set. You can set personal reminders on the pump
to remind you to check your BG, and store guidelines to follow on sick days. If needed, the Suspend
feature lets you stop all insulin delivery while still allowing you to stay connected to the pump.
• Your Animas
®
includes records of bolus delivery, changes in basal rates, how many times you suspended insulin
delivery, and pump priming. You can access these records at any time.
• When you enable CGM on your Animas
glucose levels measured from fluid below your skin (interstitial fluid). CGM readings are displayed
on your pump every 5 minutes. When you are unable to test and track your BG with a BG meter, such
as when sleeping, CGM provides a way to keep track of glucose cycles. CGM will let you know if your
CGM readings are holding steady, or trending low or high. CGM is designed to complement regular
testing of your BG with a BG meter and does not replace regular BG testing. If CGM readings are not
consistent with the way you feel or they are trending high or low, you should test your BG with a BG
meter and use that value to make any necessary treatment decisions.
Contraindications for using the Animas
Insulin pump therapy is not recommended for people with diabetes who are unwilling or unable to:
• Test their BG levels four to six times per day or as recommended by their HCP.
• See their HCP regularly.
• Respond to pump alerts, warnings, and alarms because they are visually or hearing impaired.
Not following these guidelines will make it hard for you to determine how much insulin you need
based on your current health status and the foods you eat. Not seeing your HCP on a regular basis will
not allow them to make adjustments to your pump settings and diabetes treatment plan that would
be beneficial to your health. Not being able to respond to pump notifications means you may not be
aware of certain health conditions or problems with your pump that require your attention.

Sensor glucose readings. The level of inaccuracy depends on the amount of acetaminophen active in
your body.
