1) Do you have to be hospitalized to go on the pump? Is it recommended?
2) How long does it take to really figure out the pump - I've read about different levels at different times of the day, depending on exercising, etc. - sounds a little confusing.
3) Is anyone on the Omnipod? If not, how hard is it to get used to being attached to something with the cord? Does it change what you wear?
4) What do you do when you go to the beach?
5) If you have a pump with a cord, where do you keep your pump? Is there anyway to disguise it or does it have to be worn on the outside of the clothes.
Sorry I have so many questions - any input on any of them would be great! |
1. No
2. Few weeks to a couple of months
3.
4.Have fun in the sun! I just wear my pump like I'd wear it anywhere else.
5.My pump is clipped to either a belt or my waistband when I'm not wearing a belt. Some people think it's a pager. I was about to enter a swimming pool when a stranger "warned" me not to get my pager wet.
