Hi all,

I'm a T1 Diabetic that plays rugby whilst wearing the Omnipod and Freestyle Libre sensor. I've spent the last 3 years trying to find the best way to keep my pump attached to me whilst I play rugby.

Does anybody else have a similar issue? And what do you do to secure it? I'm currently using kinesiology tape but that isn't ideal when it comes to taking it off afterwards.

Thanks,

James
 
I'm not doing contact sports, but I do like to snorkel. I don't have a problem with my Omnipod, but I do with me Dexcom. I use Skin Tac and reapply it as needed. And when it's time to take it off, while it's stuck on good, it's never taken skin or been painful to just pull right off.

There is also over patches available like Grif Grips that help.
