Has anyone experienced side effects from Ramipril? i.e Bad breath, fatigue, etc.

Well, my new pump just came in. I am a long time Animas 1250 user, and decided to try the Minimed. So far, I’m not sure if I like it as much as the Animas 1250. Here’s why:
1. Screen is not as big. My eyes are fine and I’m fairly young, but the screen just seems so small.
2. The Square wave/Dual wave feature. These are nice, but once you hit "enter" you cannot cancel the dual/square bolus. Why is that? Doesn’t make sense to me.
3. When you go into the dual/square wave screen, you always have to start from scratch. i.e. nothing is defaulted (like the last one entered)
4. From what I’ve heard, if you keep the battery out of the pump for longer than five minutes, all data is erased. Please tell me that this isn’t true.

I will try to post my pros and cons as I find them.

I was told by the Minimed salesperson that I could use Inset 30’s with the Minimed Insulin Pump. He said that a special cartridge would be required. Does anyone know if this is true?
