I had the same problems keeping my pump attached too. I'm very active and the only clip that has stayed is one called a Clip-N-Go. It's made to fit my Animas IR1250, it has a velcro closure and very strong clip. It comes in plenty of colors and runs about $17. When mine get dirty I just throw it in the washer it comes out good as new. It looks as though they also make it for the MM pump. I bought mine at the animas website. Hope this helps.

Does this make sense?
That sounds like a heck of a lot of faffing around when one is out for a Saturday lunch, or whatever. I'm two weeks off starting on the pump and I think if I have to be groveling around in the breast region it'll be even more indiscreet than shooting up with a pen at the table. What do you do? Go to the loo and undress before you eat?? I don't think this would suit me.

I use this wrap around case for my pump. This can be used with the 5 or 7 series paradigm pumps.



Same attractive leather exterior as the Paradigm Leather Case, designed to be worn around your belt. Secure Velcro flap opens quickly for viewing or easy programming.

I bought one and had a seamstress make a clone out of a different fabric. Instead of $30 I pay under $15 for a new one.
