I'm not sure it's still the same but it worked well for me. (I don't use it now. It was made for a smaller minimed pump than I have now, though I did squeeze it in and…"
Life-long Learner replied to Anne's discussion 'Ladies, how do you 'wear your pumps' most comfortably?' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"In her updo?! lol. No unsightly bulges in the dress! I'm so curious how she got it to stay up there?! How creative!
My doc actually really hates it when I use the manual or easy bolus. She wants to see that the bolus wizard is being used…"
Life-long Learner replied to Anne's discussion 'Ladies, how do you 'wear your pumps' most comfortably?' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I don't think it sounds weird at all . I do that sometimes when I'm wearing skirts (when I said I tucked it into my waistband I actually meant either underwear or skirt) and at night. Sometimes I forget it's there and wear it with…"

Life-long Learner replied to Tom Goffe's discussion 'TSA Screeners Destroy Teenager's Insulin Pump'"I had just washed my hands in their restroom and used alcohol swabs on my fingers before that, to change my inf. set. All I could think of was their soap, something in the alcohol swab, or maybe some insulin on my hands. The woman who did my…"
Life-long Learner replied to Stever's discussion 'Pumps, Medtronic v. Animas'"Vanity? Just curious what you are refering to."
Life-long Learner replied to Michael Chappell's discussion 'old pump'"This isn't related to your question really, but why did you switch? I'm out of warranty on my medtronic and am interested in the Animas Ping."
Life-long Learner replied to Tom Goffe's discussion 'TSA Screeners Destroy Teenager's Insulin Pump'"Coming back from out of the country I had the hand-swab test and it showed up positive! That false positive triggered every single item in my carry-ons and all insided surfaces of my bags being swabbed as well as the pat-down and swab for me. Yes,…"
