This is how I feel too. I wear my pump in a pouch out of the way not to have it
hidden, but to be able to wear it really comfortably somewhere where it means I'm not having to, say, yank it out of my pocket whenever I need to have a wee and in so doing potentially getting myself tangled up or dropping it. For me in the daytime this means anywhere above trouser top level, in a Hid-in. At night I either sling it in my much looser Spibelt or just have it free range.
I count myself very lucky to have an Insight, which means I don't actually
have to access the pump itself to tell it to do something. I do do
some things straight on the pump, sometimes - for instance today I'm at home poorly and am twiddling with elevated basal rates due to this infection, and I can easily get to it to press a few buttons and sort that out, especially if I'm under a blanket on the sofa and can't be faffed with reaching my arm out to grab the handset.
Given that I don't ever eat anything without testing first, which is something done on the handset, I always do the bolus calculation on the handset, and insulin delivery therefore also with the handset. Pump stays pouched-up and cosy, no fiddling, happy Snapsy.
I am finding, as time goes on (10 months pumping next week!) that more and more I've got the confidence to use either 'half' of the system. But I'm so glad I have the
option to do this stuff remotely.
