Hello, i was wondering if anyone could help me! I have the roche accuchek combo pump and was wondering is there anywhere i can get a replacement case that goes around your neck from preferably for free because i dont really fancy having to pay £15:( as mine seems to have gone walk abouts and cant find it anywhere! And well im lost without it, havjng to sleep with my bra on because i have nowhere else to put my pump without feeling at ease! Sorry for rambling on!
 
The rubber skins can be used to hang the Combo around yr neck simply by threading a piece of circular elastic through the holes at the end of the skin and knot together the ends to form a loop to hang from neck. This works well in bed as it makes it easy to press the buttons on the pump if something goes wrong

I had this exact same problem when I had my pump. I dunno about getting any for free but you should try eBay/amazon for cheaper ones

I think I will try that then thank youuu! :) I tried sleeping with it loosely last night.....and well no problems! So if i dont get one maybe i can just do that hmmm!x
 
A babys or toddler's sock can be used. Just sew a popper inside the ankle bit to stop pump falling out if using the Combo, and use a hole punch to mzke a hole in the corner of the foot. Thread some chord or elastic through the hole.

Re the skin..... if you look at the end you will see 2 small rectangular cut outs. Just thread some elastic or chord through the holes
