John- You’ve gotten some good advice here. The best I can offer is how I use the pump. I got he pump a few years ago when I was a stay at home dad. I played with the girls everyday, and still do. I use a pc of tape about 3-6 inches from the infusion set, with a little loop in it. That stops it from pulling between the pump and the tape. And then I tuck the tube under my clothes and hang the pump on my belt, using a pager like case. I have other cases, some have a hook so they can swing lower and so on. I have never had a problem with an infusion set like you are having so I agree that switching set types is probably a good idea. My girls have climbed all over me with the pump on with no issues. Pulling the set out can be nasty, but it heals fairly quickly, and like shots you get used to it.
Also, if you are worried about the tubing and what it can handle try pulling on it to see if you can break it. It will pull out of you before it breaks. I have yanked on it, caught it on a door knob and it has yet to show any damage.
It took me about 3 months to get used to the pump and trust that it isn’t going to break. Now my pump is just part of me, I don’t normally think too much about it. But even now when I don’t play with the kids as much, I still use the tape, if I don’t it drives me nuts.
Good luck!
