I just got a new insulin pump and I need some ideas of how to integrate it into my outfits. If I wear it on my hip everyone thinks it's a pager and it just isn't a pretty thing. I just was wondering if you have ideas of how to hide it or make it look nicer? I love my pump and I'm not "ashamed" of it.

My best friend wears maternity pants/shorts and folds the band over to hide hers she isn't quite comfortable with it yet so that's what she does but I definitely agree with the above comments I see women wear them attached to their pants all the time and me not being a diabetic don't think anything about nor do any of the non diabetics I know think anything or that it looks dumb.

If I'm wearing a tight skirt and shirt or something without pockets I put mine in the band of my bra.

I love my pump and I don't care what people think of it or me. I just don't want to have to explain it all the time.

I've always wanted a pump! But I suggest the band of your bra. Or on your hip. Don't be ashamed of it, it makes us unique. :)

I get you, maybe try a sports bra so there's extra room for it Victoria secret has some cute ones that should be able to support it and hide it without you having to worry about it falling out.

Thank you for the ideas. But again, I am NOT ashamed of my pump.

I had a client who decorated her pump with pink crystals. She wasn't ashamed of her pump either and when people asked about it she used it as an educational tool ( telling people about diabetes and dispelling myths).

I think people who do that are awesome. But sometimes I just want to go out and not have to explain my life story to strangers. I don't mind explaining my diabetes most of the time but sometimes I just want to be 16 and not have to think about it or relive it.

Most definitely Rachel...I completely get what you're saying. My daughter was born with a cleft lip/palate and sometimes she'll have complete strangers ask about her faint scar and her nose that is slightly crooked. Sometimes she doesn't mind sharing her story...other times she keeps it super brief and changes the subject with a quickness. It can be a little overwhelming when constantly questioned on a daily about it...and sad when some people turn snide and say something off the wall demeaning.

Exactly, thank you Shelley! I know a little girl I teach horseback riding lessons to who is almost deaf and has a hearing aid in both ears and she doesn't really like it when kids ask her about it all the time.
