This past August, a group set out to complete the North Coast Trail – a trek around the northern tip of Vancouver Island.

We believe competition is important to push companies to constantly innovate for people with diabetes and provide the highest level of quality and service at a reasonable price. For that reason, we are disappointed by this week’s news that Animas is exiting the U.S. pump market and have designated Medtronic as a preferred partner to transition customers.
Upon FDA approval of Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM compatibility, thousands of existing t:slim X2 Insulin Pump users were able to add CGM integration to their pump from home using their personal computer, without waiting for their insurance to cover a new device.

But the pace of innovation in diabetes technology has picked up rapidly. What if you could choose a pump today that could be updated with new features as they become approved and available?
