[QUOTE="AJB_81, post: 1509400, member: 395521"] A few reasons why the pump isn't ideal for holidays: - - long periods with the pump disconnected when at water parks or in the pool so BGs drift up - Insulin & pump get too hot - for the ladies who wear a bikini they have the cannula on show & some don't like to have this visible. Always a good idea to have a doctors letter to prove condition, also good to take a repeat form as further proof. Personally I think being able to switch to MDI's quickly and confidently is not such a bad thing in case a pump ever fails We've had lots of holidays with the pump and this time thought we'd try something different and back to injections for 3 weeks [/QUOTE]
