Having just discovered that @tim2000s s has a website about cricket and diabetes I'm gutted that I missed the chance to speak to you directly at the recent #pwdc2016 event (apologies, hopefully next year )! I'm a big cricket fan myself and play regularly for local team and have a few concerns regarding diabetes technology, particularly wearing a pump and CGM whilst playing.
I'm due to start on the pump on Thursday along with a free trail of Dexcom G4 sensors and with cricket season approaching I was wondering if you could share any experiences, tips, etc where you may have worn these whilst playing?...a lot of people have said that wearing a CGM on the arm is much better and cheaper as it lasts longer. However, how does it cope if your a bowler? will it come off?
Where do you put a pump when batting? Have you ever been hit on the pump ?
Thanks in advance!
