I learned yoga. But i wont get time to do practice. Now-a-i am unable to stretch my body. Therefor regular practice is necessary. I dont know what is CGM and pump. Please explain

I do exact same thing. pump on waist and CGM next to mat. Pump on waist band allows for easy moving it while in pocket, a little more unbalanced. I too have glasses issues. Optomitrist adjusted them few times and now they sit fine while bending, inversions, etc. Its great you have taken to the Flow!

Just to introduce myself to those who don't already know me. I have T1, and have been on a pump for 14 years, and CGM for about 2 years. I just started doing yoga, and am not a superstar, but what I like about it is that I don't need to be. So far, I'm just wearing baggy jeans and a t-shirt, and not having any problems. I keep my Dex monitor next to me beside the mat, and the pump stays in my pocket. I do sometimes feel the sensor, but not really a problem. I'm actually having more problems with my glasses than with my D equipment!

that is nice, i didnt want to step on ur shoes...but i had the problem of going to soccer tournaments with the girls team i coached in florida, and thought just dropping my pen in my pocket or having it sit by itself in the car...and just having heat and humitidy around all the time...was driving me crazy, this was life b4 the Dexcom...i even wear my pump in Bikram yoga 3 times a week and no problem with heat there..

Both the flexpen and lantus prefilled pens say no refrig necessary once they're in use. I work from home so they are mostly just sitting around. When I go out to eat, they're in my bag. Never gets very warm.

not sure if i agree with that comment(please dont hate me for this), because i had a type1 carry his pen in his suit coat pocket all day long and the body temp and inside his jacket was approx 96 degrees or higher in some court rooms..and then insulin was losing its potency..yes, if the pen is left alone and just sits in your home all day, i would say yes..but you have to be careful that the pen is not getting exposed to temperature, b/c i then thought my sugar is high?? why, ...so i increased my insulin dosages...so just be careful when you carry the pen out and about...dont want to see somebody else have same problems ..ciao

Nope, both are pens. No refrig. needed.

you still have to carry the insulin with you, at least the humalog, so you can eat whenever you want..do you own a frio bag? by www.coolerconcept.com the best $25 ever spent for carrying about insulin, totally reusable and great for hiking, camping,etc..all you have to do is wet the bag, and then for 4-5 days, not have to worry about insulin going bad..

I use a flexpen with penfills (humalog and lantus) so I don't need to use syringes or carry insulin. It's ok for now.

you are right on the money there..the pump helps avoid those issues...Lantus or Levemir, never acts 24hours in everybody...so i had to do some tricky things to get my 24 hour coverage...why u not on the pump?? it really is not as cumbersome/difficult as i imagined..i thought it would detract from my "lifestyle', but now it has actually improved, it is so easy to connect and disconnect, and yes, it will have a "hangup" thing every once in a while, but the fact that i dont have to carry my frio bag with needle everywhere and worry about 2 insulin bottles when travelling...now it is every 4 days and sometimes 5 before i change the sites and i love it...wish i would have done it years ago..
