[QUOTE="iHs, post: 146882, member: 8799"] Hi I also have the Combo and am in two minds whether to take it abroad or leave it at home and go back to bolus/basal for a while. The reason I say this is if the pump goes wrong, then it's going to be a nightmare using my mobile and phoning the pump company asking them for a replacement. Also a few years back, I took my camera on a beach and a grain of sand got jammed in the lens preventing it from opening and closing. It cost me one huge amount of money in the UK to get it fixed so I don't think that taking a pump onto a sandy beach is really a good idea. Another thing I found out a while ago from reading messages on a another forum is that salt water (sea) can make the infusion sets literally float out. Person was happily swimming and noticed her infusion set floating on top of the water :cry: :lol: :lol: [/QUOTE]
