[QUOTE="iHs, post: 428909, member: 8799"] Hi I just put my pump (the Combo) in a mobile phone type of sock (those ones that are about £2 each and have a lanyard on them to hang around the neck) and go to bed like that. That way, if I get up in the night to spend a penny, the pump comes with me and I don't have to worry about picking it up and carrying it. A uk company called ipSOX does some nice socks. I also use the rubber skin that came with the pump and attach a long piece of chord through the end of it and make a lanyard and that works really well. Lots of diabetics do leave the pump laying beside them in bed but usually have it on a longish piece of tube (about 80cm) and just remember to pick it up. Another alternative is to put pump in a baby sock and attach the sock to pj's or nightie with a nappy pin if nightwear hasn't got any pockets. Taking the pump to bed isn't really much of a problem as long as an adequate length of infusion set tube is attached to the pump. [/QUOTE]
