[QUOTE="amym06, post: 1053781, member: 266934"] Hi izzyj09, that's good to know as I have lead quite an active life myself and regularly go to the gym which can send my sugars awol so hopefully with a pump it will be easier to control as you have found! I am at uni too and yeah it is a bit worrying as I feel like a pump isn't the easiest thing to hide when wearing clothes that are not baggy - i think one of my main concerns is that it might get caught and pulled out which is not a great thought with being needle-phobic - especially as cannulas are my worst nightmare! Does it hurt putting the cannula in? I've read a few horror stories online about people having infected and painful sites which put me off the idea a bit as I can be a bit of a wimp! :oops: Thanks a lot for your support! [/QUOTE]
