Comments on: Exercise without the Pump (and thinking about another pump) http://dathlete.com/2010/03/exercise-without-the-pump-and-thinking-about-another-pump/ dAthlete.com - talking about the needs of athletes with diabetes mellitus type 1 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 00:14:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Amy http://dathlete.com/2010/03/exercise-without-the-pump-and-thinking-about-another-pump/comment-page-1/#comment-45 Amy Fri, 23 Apr 2010 16:11:43 +0000 http://dathlete.com/2010/03/exercise-without-the-pump-and-thinking-about-another-pump/#comment-45 Interesting information. My son, Kyle was diagnosed 10/14/08 (he was 8 yrs), and we got him the One Touch Ping one month after. I had never discussed with his Team about using Lantus in conjunction with the pump. Other than Football season, and daily exercise, that is the extent of his physical activity. We demo-ed the Contact-Detach infusion set-and it seemed to keep him regulated more-although he despised the hard needle that remained under his skin..so back to the inset! Thank you for the information! Interesting information. My son, Kyle was diagnosed 10/14/08 (he was 8 yrs), and we got him the One Touch Ping one month after.

You can read about it here: http://www.childrenwithdiabetes.com/clinic/untethered.htm It's not something that I have ever done for an extended period of time -- and would mostly be a moot point if I went on the OmniPod. It is a little complicated to get started, but makes complete sense for active folks who like to disconnect frequently. What I was hinting at is a hybrid approach — coined “Un-tethering”.
