They do body belts which are lovely and comfy (I have a black and a white one). I use mine to sleep in or if I'm wearing trousers.

These look great, think I'll go for it

The lady who makes them is a diabetic herself. The bands are great. Handmade and really comfy.

Thanks. My pump hadn't arrived so had a play on theirs for a bit. Straight forward enough and all systems go for the 8th December now

Overnight I have a necklace type pouch on with my pump in it (being female I shove it down the bra during the day) Depending on how tight you wear your shirts it might not be seen that way Or there are bands that go around your waist as people say and you can get them in prints that include star trek, star wars and everything in all the verses between!

All good so far thanks

Just over a week in and all is good. Had some of the best readings I've had since being diagnosed. Waking up every 2 hours to test is wiping me out a bit but it's only for a month. Really impressed with the insight pump too

Sounds like you are doing great @jonnyedwards
