So i am on the Animas one touch ping as of late yesterday. My first night was restless because i was concerned about ripping it out. But nothing bad happened and my first day went pretty good. I can see some little changes needed on how to wear the pump but that is a easy fix. I went to endo yesterday and it was like a Diabetic's Christmas with all the good stuff that came in the big box.

Congratulations! Pretty soon you won't even notice that you're wearing a pump. If you are concerned about ripping your site out during the night you can make a small loop of tubing, not too far from the site, and tape it down. That way if you do snag the tubing on something the loop will take the brunt of the pull.

You've probably already found the information on this site but Skin-TAC does a great job of helping the infusion sets (and CGM sensors) stick to your body. So far, I've not had any sites ripped off (touch wood).
