  Wow! I have never gone away from wherever I am to operate my pump. I 
  wore my Disetronic pump in my bra. The buttons on that pump are 
  designed to be felt through clothing so it was easy. Now I wear my 
  Cozmo around my waste. There is a company called Unique Accessories 
  that makes all sorts of things for wearing pumps, everything from tea 
  shirts, pajamas, things that go around arms and legs and so on. I 
  have something called a Waist It. It is a soft band of cloth with 
  velcro on it. I just wrap it around my waste. It has a soft pocket 
  into which the pump fits. It goes nicely with pants or dresses. I 
  also tend to use the shorter tubing so there's less of it to fuss 
  with. I don't tape anything down at all, just stuff it down in 
  clothing. And many of the newer pumps, including the Prodigy now 
  feature remotes. So when that comes out, there will not be any need 
  to fish out a pump and play with menus. I frankly don't know who 
  thought menus were a good idea in something you try to hide in 
  clothing anyway. At least my Cozmo, and also the Animas has a nice 
  quick button on the side which can be felt through clothing. I set 
  that button so that each press is 5 grams of carbs for me. This way 
  if I'm guessing anyway, like at a restaurant, I just push the button 
  through my clothes and off I go.
  And my diet is much less restrictive as well.
