Scrubs. I clip the pump into the pocket.

I've used a Medtronic belt that has a Velcro closure pocket for my Medtronic pump. My favorite is PJ bottoms with deep pockets. I just slip the pump into the pocket. Pants with pocket is what I usually use during the day, too.

Hi Chaplain Walt. I like the spibelt for sleeping and daytime both. It is made in different sizes and colors; there is one especially for a pump. www.spibelt.com

Any suggestions on sleeping with the pump?

They had sent me the wrong pump it was a Medtronic but now it is an Accu-Check Spirit.

Chaplain Walt, do you know what make and model you will have?

Hi everyone ,

I will start using a pump this week so I am literally brand new at this.

Frio would work well, they make one for pumps specifically now too.

Gayle, I think you should keep the pump on, keep it out of direct sun, and as cool as you are.
I'm not up on the effect of 110 degrees on insulin, but I can''t see it being a problem for a few hours. Maybe replace the cartridge after the event if you are concerned about the heat the insulin was in.
You could also put the pump in a small Frio, if you had one, or even a wet bandana. You would also know if the bandana is still wet/cool, that the pump didn't get hotter than that.
What would keep the Novolog on your person and cooler than the pump?

well . . . about to leave on a trip to laughlin. i'm participating in the laughlin "regatta;" a 4-5 hour river float trip on rafts from bullhead city to laughlin. i wear a pump (for only about 3 months now), and i'm having a little anxiety on how i'm going to handle the river float. it's going to be 110 during the day, so i'm not sure how that will affect it's performance. it's the animas ping, so it's waterproof; but i'm thinking of not wearing it and instead just bringing a novolg pen with me to use during the day. any thoughts on this one?
