Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mrsass" data-source="post: 1127422" data-attributes="member: 86119">I've never been self conscious about my diabetes however I find the pump less noticeable than having to get an insulin pen outta my bag, depending if you had something like an omnipod which is wireless you would never need for it to be on show as you would just control with the remote, I have a Medtronic pump which has tubing but the cannula is in my stomach and I run the tubing up the side of my body and have it tucked into the side of my bra, it is completely unnoticeable. You do get a clip with it as well to clip to your waist band etc but I found that bulky so removed it and just wear it this way, I need to take it out when giving my bolus so I can press the buttons which takes all of 15 seconds then just pop it back, if you didn't feel comfortable doing that in public obviously you could go to a bathroom away from people but I think because it doesn't actually look like something medical people wouldn't know, my husband says mine looks like a pager lol Hope that helps <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
