[QUOTE="sf352, post: 542371, member: 23742"] Cheers guys. A lot of good points there. We're fairly well protected heat wise. If it's hot enough to compromise the gear I won't be hanging around! It'd be more the injection site from the humidity (think fully clothed in a sauna) weather it woukd come unstuck and have to be replaced alot. Also id be worried about highs and dka which I've never had trouble with. I've always carried a mobile phone and only once was it damaged it was when I fell on it so I'd say the pump would be fairly robust it was the tubing and physical connection to the body I'd be concerned about. Disconnecting for shower etc seems to be more straightforward than I'd thought? Although there are unique dangers for leaving unattended property in a fire station, I could see the insulin replaced with epinephrine alright :) Cheers for the insight, don't really know any diabetics to discuss stuff with so it's good to get 1st hand experiences.
