Hi again
--- I've seen a few people say that they sometimes wear their pump in their pockets and run the tubing through a small hole in the pocket...
I'm going on a date (!) tomorrow and have a cute summer dress I think I'm going to wear... Ordinarily I'd use my belt under the dress -- but cos we're going for a walk, I then don't want to be lifting my dress up and rummaging around underneath for my pump to see what's going on with the CGM ;-) and as the pump is still so new to me, I know I don't feel confident enough to just not check it at all...
So... The dress has pockets, and I was thinking of trying to make the small hole in a pocket tonight so I can pop the pump in there and more discreetly / easily get access to it as and when I feel I want to... He knows I'm on the pump so I'm not worried about him seeing it, just I don't want to have to lift up my dress to do so
--- anyway -- what I can't figure out is; surely the hole in the pocket actually has to be quite big...? I was thinking it could just be a small hole for the tube -- but it has to be big enough to get the connector through as well doesn't it...? Or am I missing something...? It's a really nice dress so I don't want to cut the hole in the pocket bigger than it needs be...
Thanks in advance from anyone who's done this and can offer any tips!
