[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1585097"] I have a tubed pump and I swim. Basically, I give myself a bolus equivalent to a basal dose for however long I plan to be in the pool (or how long I have been in if I take it afterwards) and then disconnect. My basal is sufficiently low that an extra .3 units of bolus for 30 minutes swimming doesn't cause a hypo. Knowing cardio often reduces my BG, I often remove my pump at the gym too. I have no problem removing it for a shower every day so I don't see the problem with removing it for short periods (and testing regularly) at other times of the day. To be honest I enjoy these moments without being attached and think I would miss them if I had an Omnipod. [/QUOTE]
