Tandem t-slim insulin pump and sweat/gym activity.

[sammi4688]

Hi, just wondering if anyone can help or has experienced any of the following problems.
I am currently on the tandem t-slim insulin pump, I'm going to the gym and I have increased my physical activity more to lose weight and gain better control with my diabetes.
My pump keeps falling off....after the gym, when I get a shower, when I get sweaty.....I have used the skin tac which is good, but I'd £20 a box, bought a slightly cheaper alternative at £16, but not as good.

My questions are...
Does anyone experience the same problems as me?
What do you do?
Would I be eligible to get skin tac wipes on prescription?


Thank you for reading and hope to hear some responses soon xxxx

Heya @sammi4688

When you say your pump is falling off - do you mean the actual pump or the sets are coming away ? If the sets which I am assuming you are - what sets are you using ? where are you wearing them ?
