  If you use an insulin pump or CGM, how does your summer wardrobe impact where you insert your pump or CGM? Select all that apply.
  My pump and CGM on my abdomen, pretty much all the time.

  Duh - my entire placement of sites is directed at getting the best adhesion, absorption, and keeping the things in. Appearance in summer clothes is very much secondary.

  Anita, Thank you. Yes, I have a thigh holder but I am pretty tall and always felt I had to go to the bathroom to bolus which defeats the purpose of the pump. And I never felt very secure with the thigh holder. I will look into the clothing line, though. Thank you!!

  I know there are clothing lines that make places to hold pumps while wearing a dress. Sorry I can't remember the brand or lady who designed these dresses, but diabetes-connections.com recently had an interview with the lady. I very rarely wear dresses, but if I do, I generally wear my pump on my thigh (using an insulin belt made for thighs) and just discreetly give myself a bolus while seated at a table. I use Tandem2x so with the bolusing from my phone which should be out soon will make it that much easier to bolus

  If I am flying I will put the Omnipod and Libre where it is easy to show security if I am asked. I have Global Entry so I am not asked very often what I have on my body. Also I have to remove the pump before the plane departs (or I get severe lows below 30) and then put it back on when we reach 35,000 feet so I need to be able to do that without much trouble.
