Hi there,
Just joined the forum, prompted mainly as my Diabetes treatments is about to change. I was diagnosed Type I nearly 3 years ago. I have been using Novorapid/Levemir pens for insulin. As I have been experiencing so many hypos, I am being moved on to a pump shortly. The question I have concerns watersports and insulin pumps and how people manage. I kayak and this usually means being on the water for several hours. My suspicion is that I'm going to have to trade up from a wetsuit to a drysuit - and a good quality one at that which has excellent seals - which is going to be costly.
Does anyone have any experience / advice / suggestions?
