My favorite trick in wearing the insulin pump is making it invisible. In basically all of my clothing I have cut a small 1-inch hole in the top of both front pockets (especially my suit pants!). Why? So I can run keep the pump in my pocket and run the tubing from the pocket to my body without and of it sticking out. This is especially great when wearing a shirt tucked in – looks just like normal. However, I started doing this to my running shorts and the back pockets of my cycling jerseys too. Not only does it take the tubing out of the way, but it keeps the insulin in the tubing out of the elements: sunlight, bitter cold, etc. The number one place I hook my insulin tubing on is in the kitchen at home – always on the draw handles. And why? At home I never use the hole in pocket technique.
These are tricks mostly for guys, but it would be great to have a full list that works for everyone: women, men, kids; in any type of clothing.
