[QUOTE="35yearsofType1, post: 2296310, member: 528868"] Hi Becky, I’ve had two brilliant planned pregnancies (diabetes control wise) and honestly could not have done that without a pump. Through pregnancy your insulin requirements change really quickly so it’s easy to tailor your insulin to specific time of the day. Good luck with getting pregnant - generally I have such a different life due to my pump honestly it was the best thing I’ve ever had to help with diabetes. Like you I was bothered at first about it being visible and I found ways to hide it - so with a skirt or dress I hang it from my underwear (not my bra as that’s a faff to get to when you want to give insulin in public!) But now I sort of wear it with pride I don’t care if people see it - I absolutely love it it’s allowed me to love a more free life! Good luck and keep us posted xx [/QUOTE]
