[QUOTE="weeezer, post: 390628, member: 41342"] [b]Re: Beach holiday / tanning issues / not wanting to look lik[/b] Ah yes, forgot about the industrial strength folic. Glad you knew, if we left it all to gp's where would we be!? You should have access to a 'pre-conception clinic', or at the very least an appt with your diabetes 'team' to discuss early pregnancy etc. I've gone swimming a few times, and am 'off pump' for about an hour each time, always test as soon as in re-attached in case need a bolus but always in range. Think the activity counters a rise in bgl. Often spend an hour in the bath too and rarely need bolus after, maybe the heat helps? So short amount of time without being connected seems to be fine! The only time I've ever been disconnected for any length of time was by accident, after being slightly 'tipsy' and taking it off for a 'romp' with my hubby (tmi soz) and falling asleep after. woke up a few hours later to sky high levels, but reattached and bolused and all was well.
