People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
DD, you already know I'm not even a T1, never mind a pump user, so what do I know?
However, I was wondering if you had considered something like iHS suggested? Before I read that, I was thinking about a very small cross body bag, you could just either drop you pump into as you head to the loo, or wear over or under your clothing? If you wanted to try something like that, you could drop me the pump dimensions, and how long you would like the cross body strap, I could probably knock something up in 20 minutes from a fabric remnant to let you try it to see if it would be any good. It'd go in an envelope easily.
I have in my mind something like the one in link, but in a simple fabric, with no zips to bulk it up?

Thanks so much for such a kind, kind offer. I have chronic neck pain since last Sept and thats part of reason I toss n turn all night..and not being able to lie on left side etc even anything on my body twists around and genuinely I have to have something attached to my arm. Legs I wear such tight jeans 90% of the time that a leg thingy would also be out of the question.
I would love at some point to go back to doing some physical work...which again makes pump on my arm the best.
However, I am so grateful for peoples offers of help and suggestions...
Will be eternally grateful to my chap at Accuchek for helping me...
Tried on two new tops from charity shop this afternoon to go to Proclaimers concert tonight... They are skin tight.. And no way could I handle the pump sticking to waistband of trousers under them. Back to my old top(s) until I get changed over to the Combo next week.
My Accuchek man contacted me today and let me know evthing was in hand... Wonderful to have that on a weekend!
Got some amazing people full of kindness and support here and also my nurses that recognised I was inconsolable and Accuchek man too. Forever grateful to everyonexx
