Q: Rafting With a Pump?
asked by: ssiegal on May 12th, 2006

Is this possible? I have been on the pump for a few years now and would like to take a 4-day whitewater rafting trip. I'm pretty sure i'll get wet no matter how careful I am. I am worried about two things:
1. The pump itself would get wet and malfunction.
2. The infusion site would get wet and the infusion set will come unstuck and actually come out of my body.
Has anyone tried this and what worked for them? I'm also thinking about going back to injections for the trip...What has been people's experience with that?

Thanks!
