I wear my pump around my neck all day and then clip it to my underwears waistband for sleeping but you have raised an issue which will affect me if only periodically. I go fishing mainly in the winter months so i too will be fumbling through layers of clothing to reach my pump to use the bolus wizard or deal with an alarm such as a BG check reminder.I would have thought that it wouldn't take much for medtronic to solve this problem by designing their own intergrated BG meter and pump control handset.DD, you come over as a strong lady and i feel for you going through your treatment for breast cancer.My wife went through this 7 years ago also loosing one breast and unfortunately she swears that if it happens again she will refuse treatment! You know why DD as you have been through the traumatic treatment yourself. Hopefully she won't suffer this again.I wish you well DD.Best wishesMartin</blockquote>
