[QUOTE="azure, post: 1336223, member: 39639"] Hi [USER=247426]@Little_Lucy[/USER] :) I've had a pump 12 years and I was very nervous before I got mine too. But after a couple of days I got used to wearing it and very soon didnt even notice it. As I was typing this to you, I had to stop to feel where it was - i really don't notice it at all :) I wear skirts and just clip it to my waist band. I also wear dresses and either have it ina special pouch or tuck it in a Tubigrip on my thigh. It's fine :) At night, I either clip it to my pyjamas or wear a soft belt with a pouch in. It's really comfortable and, again, I don't notice my pump at all. My pump made me feel normal and more like me before I had diabetes. I love it! You'll be fine. The expectation and worry in advance is far worse than the reality. You'll soon get used to wearing it. I actually think mine looks rather cool :) [/QUOTE]
