men with tubed pumps.

[MrDaibetes]

We see lots of accessories on the market more aimed at females and decorate your diabetes community focusing on females.

I would love to know besides your hip/waist where else do you wear your pump?

Very much agree - all the accessories for men appear to be focussed more on hiding it than accessorising, with things like leg straps or aimed at sportsmen in pocketed sports tops. And although well into sport none of it has appealed or seemed comfortable to my son. His is in his pocket 100% of the time, he won’t wear anything without pockets for that reason including Pjs.

How about you? Do you wear yours anywhere else?

Good question @MrDaibetes!

I like wearing hooked to my belt, especially where the pump is acting as a CGM receiver because it gives easy ‘glance’ access to my sensor glucose levels.

My pockets are pretty busy and congested, so no room there usually, though I have used pockets when wearing ‘DIY’ jeans (and where my usual pocket contents don’t apply). Pockets also used for running shorts.

I’ve not really felt the need for anything else tbh.

I wear mine on my hip, but i'd much prefer it to be able to be elsewhere and easy access -.-

Well for quite a number of years now, I've inspected any item of clothing I've liked the look of on a rail enough to pause and investigate further and immediately discounted anything for the bottom half of me that doesn't have deep enough side pockets.

Eldest daughter is similarly trained so as she shops in Sainsburys and goes in different shops where she lives to me, should I be looking for a whatever in yellow cum pink and tell her to keep her eyes peeled for one, she also checks that and our SiL might comment - Oh what was wrong with that one you saw in Asda's then? - I liked that one and thought it would suit Jen - and then gets shouted at by her LOL

I wear mine on my belt when my Dexcom G6 is on my Right Arm. When the G6 is on my left arm I try to wear a shirt / polo shirt with a chest pocket (they are usually on the left) and place the pump in that pocket. Someone did once suggest wearing round the neck using a long boot lace. I tried that and it was great when you wanted to go to the toilet but not something I could live with 24*7......

I wear a sports belt its a elasticated tube with 4 openings ,i stitched up one pocket to make a dead end and reduced the opening to stop my pump falling out it works perfect for me and i wear it 24/7 .
