[Diabetes-talk] wearing your pump

[cheryl echevarria]

no Dar, the actual part of the pump is attached 2 inches from your belly button on either side of your stomach/abdomen area.

so no you would not have to lift up your dress. I would if my dress doesn't have buttons or if I am in an area with other people, I would just do it in the bathroom, most of the time I am doing it, Nelson says it looks like someone is checking there cellphone, so they probably wouldn't even notice.

My daughter has had the pump for at least 5 years now, and she loves it.

Very active doesn't come out unless you sweat a lot but they do have if you need it something to cover it.  But you can go in the shower and swimming without it falling off.

you change it every 3 days, so you usually will do it about the same time, so if you are out, you know when you get home you have to change the sets.

The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!
