I’ve been on the Medtronic 640g pump for 16 months & libre for two months.
I’ve recently taken up regular swimming where I’m in the pool about four times a week & finding the sensor is losing its adhesive quite quickly. The other thing is I detach my pump whilst swimming but find my sugars have been quite high sometimes after coming out of the pool? Do other pump users wear your pump in the pool? I know you can but I just seem to want to protect pump & disconnect it? However silly that may sound?
So what are people’s recommendations for the libre whilst swimming? Do you cover it with a dressing/tegaderm? If so can hole bit in the middle of the sensor be covered with a dressing? Do pump users swim with their pump & how do you do it wearing a swimsuit? Many thanks & sorry for all the questions
