So I'm planning a spa day for my birthday which is on Boxing Day. I have a couple of questions about the pump and diabetes in general with regards to spa days.
Firstly, I don't quite know what to do with the pump as many of the activities in the spa such as massage, swimming, steam room etc require me to take the pump off. However if I disconnect the pump so much maybe I won't be getting enough basal to stabilise my b/s?
Also, I have heard off a friend that diabetics need doctors advice prior to getting a massage for a reason which I have forgot. Oops Is this true?
Any advice is much appreciated and sorry for the long post
