[QUOTE="Rozoid, post: 2267338, member: 384007"] I’ve had a pump now for 9 years. It has changed my life, literally. I can now lives a pretty normal life and no one knows I’m diabetic unless I tell them. The pump is waterproof so can be worn in the sea/ pool but you can disconnect for short periods of time and put a waterproof cover on the cannula, ( this comes in the pack). People think it is a mobile phone, I clip mine to my bra if wearing a dress or pocket of jeans etc. Last year, when going through security at the airport, I disconnected it and gave to security guard as I went through scanner. It was absolutely fine. I also had a letter from my consultant to say I was using pump therapy. I sleep with mine just unclipped and even though I move about in my sleep, it is never a problem. Hope some of that helps. [/QUOTE]
