Hi all!
Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm 23, diagnosed with Type 1 at 13, and have worn some form of Animas Pump (20/20, Ping, and Vibe) for the last 9 years.
The pump is advertised as being waterproof at 12 feet for 24 hours, which is something I really like. I used to be an avid swimmer and also just enjoy hanging out at the pool, so this has always been advantageous for me because I don't have to worry about disconnecting or anything.
Today, I went to the beach with a friend of mine. Kept my pump on because I wasn't sure how long we'd be in the water. We ended up wading around in the ocean for about 20-30 minutes. Pump was never submerged more than maybe 2 feet. Despite this, I got out of the water today and the screen was completely flooded. No longer working. I've got Animas sending me a new pump and am on syringes again temporarily, but I was wondering if anyone else had encountered this type of problem before? It is definitely concerning, and has me wondering if I should shop around for some new options.
Thanks for any input!
