Hi everyone,
A couple of questions...
1) I went away for the first time with my minimed pump-to a resort where I
swam 2+ times each day. I had to change my site on day 2 as the bandage
became completely unstuck. ANy ideas for how to keep it on while swimming
more than once a day?
You can cover the site with Tegaderm or something similar. One time when I
noticed that my Quick-Set was starting to pull up at the edges, I took a
piece of Tegaderm and cut a hole in the center. I disconnected the tubing
and then applied the Tegaderm over the set adhesive and it was fine until
it was time to change it again. I also have used the Tegaderm when I put
Quick-Sets in my hips, because I tend to pull up on the adhesive there.
