Saying Goodbye To The Snap - Sigh.

Due to beingness sidelined amongst bronchitis, laryngitis together with trechitis - I’m behind incredibly behind on posting close many things - And I'm sad for that, but I was REALLY sick.  
Now I’m scrambling to play grab upward forthwith that the minute circular of antibiotics together with the starting fourth dimension circular of steroids direct maintain kicked in. 
Here are my thoughts on Asante shutting their doors together with the Snap going the means of the Deltec Cozmo. 
####### 
I was leaving the BD Thought Leader consequence (more on that VERY SOON,) terminal Fri afternoon when I starting fourth dimension heard the rumblings that Asante, makers of The Snap insulin pump had closed its doors - together with my centre broke. 
My centre broke for the people who worked at Asante ( I was a fellow member of their Patient Advisory Board,) together with knew many of the employees yesteryear mention - I’d worked amongst them together with and I know that they had people amongst diabetes interests at heart. 

And forthwith those amazing people direct maintain lost their jobs together with nosotros direct maintain lost D Advocates on the manufacture side -and we can't afford to lose whatever D Advocates.
And my centre broke for people amongst diabetes  - those who wore the Snap together with whose lives were changed inward a positive way because of The Snap.  And those who were considering together with eager to lawsuit their pump, but who direct maintain lost that chance forever.  
Snap’s lawsuit allowed people to lawsuit their pump for 1 month, without whatever terms to the someone amongst diabetes - no other insulin pump fellowship offered or offers such a lawsuit - And I don't understand why. Christ, fifty-fifty motorcar dealers allow for exam drives.

And my centre breaks because simply about other incredible insulin pump alternative was taken away from us - together with every bit people living amongst diabetes, nosotros ask all the options nosotros tin get. 
Life together with life amongst diabetes is all close choices (and using our collective diabetes voices,) when it comes to the treatment(s) that move best for us. “Your Diabetes May Vary,” together with choices are KEY.

 And I believe that to a greater extent than choices inward diabetes applied scientific discipline makes all companies move harder re: tech advancements that exercise goodness all of us living amongst diabetes. 

 I loved The Snap pump together with I saw my numbers (both my blood sugars together with my daily insulin requirements went down,) amend during my seven weeks on the Snap - And had my insurance fellowship been a fleck to a greater extent than liberal inward their coverage, I would direct maintain committed to it. 
I abhor that Asante couldn’t larn the funding they needed to become world together with pulled their IPO plans off the tabular array inward March together with I abhor that partnership opportunities savage through. Mike Hoskins over at DiabetesMine covers The Snap’s demise inward detail, HERE together with Christel over at a TheperfectD.com writes eloquently on the subject and close her centre snapping in two, HERE. 

I abhor that nosotros direct maintain 1 less diabetes alternative inward our arsenal together with that those who wore the Snap are forced to discovery other options together with I abhor that it was because of money.
If patients could believe inward a product, why couldn't manufacture pace upward to the plate? 

Some pump companies are stepping upward to the plate together with offering “official Snap Replacement Programs.”




As I listen of more, I'll update the listing
But for forthwith I'm bummed out, BIG TIME.
