Haha! Just run the end of some earbuds up underneath your pod, and no one will be the wiser.
Question: Wearing it in the sun for 6 hrs, do you think the heat affected the insulin? I’m heading to the beach, and plan to wear it on my lower back ( I think) and for sunbathing purposes I’m wondering how sensitive it will be to the beaming sun? I sure hope it’s beaming anyway 
i had mine on my arm one time and 2 people asked me if it was a patch to quit smoking! i would have to have had one big addiction to need a patch that size! haha
I wear mine in plain site all the time everywhere I go and I have never had someone ask me what it was, Sometime I really wish someone would ask…
I believe women should wear it wherever it is comfortable for them. Build up that confidence ladies, lets teach some people a thing or two about D…
This discussion has really made me laugh AND it also has made me wonder about myself! I feel no shame wearing it in public. To me it’s an opportunity to educate the uneducated. I LOVE it when people ask. I became a “user” in October. At that time of year in Colorado, I was clothed in such a manner that no one had to see it. In December, my husband & I went to Hawaii. I took advantage of wearing shorts and swimsuits 100% of the time and tried out wearing it on my outer thigh. I liked having it there, but it’s not the greatest place when you’re wearing tight jeans. I still prefer my side and the back of my arm. Who cares what people think? Whatever. One day we were at a market, pod on the back of right arm. I really had forgotten about it. There was a table of 4 women drinking their coffee and talking. All of a sudden it occurred to me that they were talking about me. I smiled at them and kept shopping. I was still unaware that it could be my pod that they were discussing. Finally, one of them asked me about it. I laughed and said, “Absolutely! I’m happy to tell you, but what are the 4 of you guessing that it is?” “Smoking patch?” No. “Exercise monitor like the Body Bugg?” No. Here’s the best one… “Birth control?” No! (Well, I guess it could serve as that type of deterrent for some…) They all acted very impressed when they finally learned what it was.
A couple of weeks ago, we were fortunate enough to be in Mazatlan. Same type of questions occurred. If it were not for my pod, I may never have learned about a sugar-free margarita mix available. (Baja Bob’s - check it out! Mmmmm) One man that stopped me at the pool was a T2DM and shared that gold nugget with me.
Moral of the story… It’s you. Teach others that normal people get T1DM. We live with it AND we can live well. Work on your perceived stigma. If diabetes is the biggest problem we have, we’re lucky! The more we educate, the less weird we are.
Cheers!
