I was type 1 when I got certified. Luckily the instructor had a diving buddy who had diabetes and he wasn't overly worried. I also had a one on one class.

Question: does anyone leave their infusion set in when diving? I take the whole thing out and use a syringe when I come up from the last dive. By then my bg is usually quite high. It would be nice to be able to just reconnect the pump but I've cetainly never been on a dive boat with any kind of privacy or dry/clean space for tapping a new site. I've assumed that leaving the infusion set in is asking for an infection but I wonder if anyone has tried.
