hi La, welcome to the community. you might want to join this group
http://www.tudiabetes.org/group/minimedparadigmusers

also, I think we have a Sweden group, let me know if you'd like me to find it for you. I wear my pump clipped to my waist of pants, or clipped to a pants pocket all the time. some women put it in a baby's sock and stick it in their bra. when you get started on it, they will show you various cases and holders for it that can go different places. you will be surprised how quickly you get used to it. all the tubed infusion sets these days can disconnect for showering, etc. ask them to give you samples of different infusion sets so you can decide which one you like best. I've been pumping about 22 years, had type 1 since 1967.

We're so happy that you're finally here! Welcome home La............
