Hi everyone
Over the last few months I've been thinkin about speaking to my nurse about the pump. But after 17 years of injections this would be a massive deal to me and I feel nervous even thinking about it. I have a few basic questions that I hope someone can answer.
Can I sleep on it? I'm a fidgety sleeper and would be concerned about crushing it or it coming off.
Can I get it wet?
If I go on holiday and don't want it on show, can I revert back to injections for a week?
If I sweat, will the pump lose stick and fall off?
How often do I need to move it?
How do I know when it's run out of insulin?
Is it ok in hot temperatures? Would my body heat not effect it?
