[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1321144, member: 265172"] [USER=93783]@Sarebear86[/USER] most of the time I'm completely unaware of it. I wear it in a Hid-in pump belt, and that's very easy to wear, and I rarely feel the cannula. Actually if I DO feel the cannula I assume that it's because it might have an issue so I change it straight away in those (very rare) scenarios. In bed it's fine - sometimes I have it in my pocket, sometimes in its belt, sometimes just in a sock but 'free range' in the bed if *coughs* it's a warm night. I borrowed an obsolete pump from my diabetes centre for a couple of weeks, and I test-wore it - I was staggered at how much [I]less[/I] of a 'thing' it was than how I'd imagined. I'd had diabetes for over 29 years before I got my pump. I [I]wish [/I]I'd pushed much, much sooner for the opportunity to get one! :) [/QUOTE]
