Pump Fashions?

Ok, this might be silly... I was at the mall today looking at cell phone holders that might work for my pump, because I'm not fond of either one that came with it. A display of cell phone charms caught my eye. I thought why not, and bought a charm (blue crystal star) to accesorize my pump. How about it - are any of you adding a little style and personality to yours? (Or have I completely lost it?

)

cheers,

My pump sits on my belt just the way it came from the factory. a transparent blue MM 515. Looks classy enough in it's own right.

Hi Jenet,

Like you, I think the standard cases are pretty lame, usually. I'm all about making a statement with my pump. I put mine in bright cases, including the www.funfriends.com frog (the one for the candy bar phone)!

I take my Diabetes serious enough.....it's good have fun with it, and make the best of accessorizing!

I'd love to see pics of the way it looks with the cell charms on it!

At one point, I had a Strawberry Shortcake pouch I was toting my pump around in.

Came across this site for pumpers a long time ago: Pump Wear.

Too funny! You're timing was right on though. Today is another first for me, with my pump tucked discretely in my décolletage.

Dewey, I brought my digital camera to work with me so I could take a picture of my charmed pump in good lighting (after the sun came up). I'll post it this evening after I get home.

I've always been very open about the diabetes, and am already showing my pump to anyone and everyone - even the guy at the phone kiosk at the mall on Sunday.

I'm going to educate the world about diabetes, one person at a time!

cheers,
j

Exactly what line of business are you in?

Well, it's not all that low.

I may be in Nevada, but I'm just a boring IT person.

Sorry, that was supposed to have LOL at the end, but I got called away by a student.

No problem. I originally read it as a joke, so I was surprised to look back and see the LOL wasn't there.

I am the same way. I wear my pump on my belt and use the hard black case Animas sent with it. Every now and then I bust out the leather case. Everyone at work knows I have it. Heck I found one co worker who's daughter is on the pump and another co worker who's husband wants to talk to me about the pump. I think they are all so happy that I no longer give myself shots while sitting next to them

Camera/computer problems.

I'll keep trying, but it may be a day or two.
