I have a minimed Paradigm pump and they have what's called the Paradigm Link - it's a one touch meter that communicates wirelessly with your pump so that your BG is transferred to the pump, which helps you calculate the bolus. But the Ping sounds even better because you can actually control the pump from the meter!
