I don't wear an insulin pump but I understand. I get the same negative response when I wear my dexcom and iports. My dad doesn't even want to look at them and I'm not sure how to feel about that. :/Recently I've been getting negative comments about my insulin pump. I was wondering if anyone else has had the same thing? Sometimes I almost feel ashamedany advice?? xx

That's sad about your Dad's response to your i-Ports and Dexcom, but way to go on celebrating your inner cyborg. That's how I like to look at it too! Now I just need to make all my borg bits talk to each other....I don't wear an insulin pump but I understand. I get the same negative response when I wear my dexcom and iports.

I still don't hide them though. I think they're just as much a part of me as the dots on my fingertips. I celebrate my "cyborgness" and call it techy.
The only comments I have had about my pump are from children and that is a curiosity related question. Some parents have been horrified when the children ask about the pump then just stand and soak it all in as I show the children how it works. In child speak it's my bionic/pocket pancreas
Lol I suspect it's more embarrassment on their part because they are worried I would be upset or offended by the questions.More fool the parents, by nature children are more inquisitive and not afraid to ask
