I have the insight pump and when I used the hand set I had the pump in a bra pouch. I then hooked this on my nightie over night. I’ve now been on libre for some time and accucheck upgrades test machine which is loaded with a barrel cartridge to use as back up.
So this makes the insight test machine/handset void.
Find by me as it was incredibly slow.
So now I don’t put pump in bra pouch as it’s a lot of reaching into you’re t shirt and taking pump out of pouch faff.
If I have pockets I put it there but there’s always a risk of tubing snagging on door handles etc.
I mostly pop it in my bra. Easy to access, not idea.
Tried a belt but I’m large and they’re uncomfortable.
Could possible put it in a plastic oblong that goes onto belt but it still needs careful handling when going to the bathroom and not great with dresses and big waste bands.
Sometimes I’ve put it in a bag hanging on a lanyard. Not ideal.
Then comes the night time or being in relaxed clothing which I’m in most the time, the only place I have left is my knickers! And that’s where it is a lot of the time but then can fall out!
Any ideas?
