When i was last in Spain i found it so hot that i was sweating that much that the sticky bit that keeps the infusion in your leg would come away, so i was disconnected from my pump. This happened the first 2 nights i was there so i had to find some medical tape and before bed i would wipe around the area the infusion was and then apply medical tape all around it to stop it coming away. Has anyone else had this problem.

Not personally but I know someone that it happens to on a daily basis in the summer.
I think he did the same as you and put tape over it.
Nightmare!

Yes, used to happen whenever I was gardening in the summer. Multiple patches of tape and trying to keep the connection point away from any areas restricted by clothing helped.

Never had this happen to me, although I don't sweat a lot apart from blood sugar related stuff. I put my site on my bum and that seems to be a pretty secure place. Have you tried different locations on your body?
