I wear a MiniMed 522, and I use 43-inch Quick-sets. I simply coil up the excess tubing and tuck it in my slacks. It is almost impossible to pinch the tube enough to stop insulin flow.

With respect to wearing the set on buttocks, I use middle and upper buttocks, plus lower back. (You need to keep the sets high enough you don't sit on them!) With the 43-inch tubing you can put your pump anywhere you want. I almost always clip mine to my belt. Most folks think it's either a cell phone or a pager ....

I am trying to get used to my tubing too. i try to keep it under my clothes but it is very hard to keep it tucked in. I have the 23'' tubing and I find it to be very long for me. Maybe is because I am not a tall person. If you find something, please share with us.

That is it Richard! I found it yesterday at lunchtime searching the web, but I see that you found it and posted it before I could. No access to this site from my work computer! Thanks!

I was reading the comments and someone stated that they have to unwind it to take their pants down and then coil it back up? Is that true? If so, is it worth it?

I am waiting for my pump to arrive. Should be soon.

I just completed my first 24 hours with my pump and the 23 inch long tubing. I just coil it up and tuck inside of my waistband. No issues. If I were using longer tubing, I would give more thought to a device to hold it, I think.
