[QUOTE="anniefriar84, post: 1474053, member: 405641"] Hi, I have been a type 1 diabetic for over 25 years and on a pump for 5. I have recently changed from the accu chek combo to an omnipod. With a 3 year old boy I belive the Omnipod gives me more flexibility. I am taking my first trip abroad with the pump in a few weeks and was looking for some advice off some fellow Omnipodders! Is there anything people would suggest / recomend when wearing the Omnipod on holiday? In particular I am thinking - i) on the beach and sand getting into the pump ii) when spending long period in water, i read it should be submerged for no longer then 60 mins so assume that to mean get out, dry it, have a quick break and then start again and iii) should it be kept out of direct sunlight i.e under clothing at all times? Sorry for all the questions, but this is the type of information the instructions never seem to tell you! Thanks! Annie. [/QUOTE]
