[QUOTE="phdiabetic, post: 1669266, member: 317494"] Bolusing when you are in public looks no different to somebody checking their phone or changing songs on an ipod. I do it all the time, people really couldn't care less. I don't do scheduled set changes when I'm out, I try to plan those so I'm at home. If there's an emergency (bent cannula or whatever) I will change when I'm out though. I place my site on my bottom, so I try to find somewhere private and clean (NOT a bathroom if possible!) to do it. Probably in my car if possible. I call my pump "Pumpy McPumpface". I often (affectionately) call it "this stupid thing" but I really do love it. It is my constant companion, I would feel lonely and naked without it. Sometimes I forget my pump's not in my pocket and get up without securing it, it will swing around like a tail until I get it back under control, so I call it my tail ;) [/QUOTE]
