In the News Never one to give up, I’ve been trying out every trick in the proverbial book to keep my pump concealed. I like classic, tailored sorts of outfits and I like for my clothes to look streamlined. Incorporating this device sometimes proves to be very … challenging. (Diplomacy won out on that phrase, over my other option of “makes my head spin and I almost launch the pump across the room.") There are several products out there that are geared towards making insulin pumps easier to integrate. One that I’ve tried is the Invisapump, developed by Chuck Heidenreich. It’s essentially a plastic and leather case for my pump that hangs from a short stretch of cloth and can be clipped to my waistband. This worked well when I clipped it to my underwear, pretty much fully concealing it underneath a dress I wore for a date with my fiancé. http://www.dlife.com/generation_d/2007/06/in_the_heat_of_the_moment.html DiabetesTeenTalk.com Interview Does being on a pump make things easier or harder? I have designed a special case to wear most pumps so that it is invisible from others, see www.invisapump.com, which is very important here because of people stealing phones and running off. It would be quite a sight to see me running down the street as a thief tries to steal my pump only to find me attached! http://www.diabetesteentalk.com/interviews/pastorchuck_interview.html |
