Cases for insulin pumps

[James Counter]

I'm going on to the Accu-check insight pump on Wednesday 17th June, and I'm wondering what I should do about cases. This will be my first pump and I would like advice about how to carry it, what's comfortable and convenient, but also what isn't.

I'll 'bump' your post up the forum in the hope that other Insight users will advise.

I really really like the belt I have... I would struggle if I didn't have it, so can wholeheartedly recommend getting one!

Personally I mostly wear mine in my bra, That's maybe not an option for you though...

The belts are good as @artemis said or people wear them on a clip attached to waist band of trousers, in pockets etc

I don't have any case. keep in the pocket or clip it on my bra or trousers. I don't think there is need for any cases. You can keep it in your pocket, and make a little hole inside your pocket for the tubing, if you don't like it to hang

Did you get the pants?! I got an email to say she'll send me a pair this week...! Woop!

@artemis whatttttttt!!! Noooooo!! I'd commented on the Facebook post yesterday and she said she would send emails this week... Am I pushy if I get onto her asking where my free pants are? Lol x

The Insight has a clip on clip that actually clips in to the actual pump... It doesn't actually need a case. The handset has a case but it isn't perfect as its too small but it is adequate.

Lol!! I don't mean I have them yet, just that she said she would send me a pair...!

-- she probably emailed me because I emailed her rather than FB...

Well I didn't wait for your response I emailed her practically crying that I want some pump pants... I'm guessing I've gone on the 'crazy people that don't get/deserve freebies' list I need to learn patience and to keep my mouth closed hahaha

Hi James,
I bought a mobile phone holder for the handset that was £1.99 and hangs round my neck and have pump in pocket and have always had since pumping for all them years of pumping.

But recently I have bought a bag for all my diabetic bits and bobs from Elite Bags on the Amazon website and keep handset sticks etc in there.
It was £24.72 .

My Accu Chek rep was surprised with the mobile phone holder she said it was far superior to the companies cases although they were having some new ones coming out soon.
