[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 542326, member: 102150"] The Animas Vibe pump really is waterproof, if that's a factor. You can swim in it, it's rated for 24 hrs at 12m depth, though you must check and maintain the seals. It is a good point about high temperature though when the insulin is outside your body, it could degrade, and this could give you DKA if you didn't detect it (rising blood sugar) and take action. Disconnecting and reconnecting a pump for a shower is two seconds work so I wouldn't worry about that. As long as your mates aren't going to nick the pump while it's disconnected!
