Insulin pumps and ... yes, sex!

Hello!

As a summary: the first part, is to vent, but the important question is at the end.

I feel so direct but I have been looking for too much time through the forum and many places and I can't find this topic.

They have just done 2 years since I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and almost the same time has my endocrine telling me that I should carry the insulin pump.

At first I was reluctant since I thought that at some point I would stabilize, that it was still soon, but at this point I am already very tired because every day they are a roller coaster, very high and very low.I know 100% that he was right (yes, obvious, he is a doctor and I don't).

But there is something that worries me a lot, I don't care that I look in everyday situations but I am 26 years old, without a stable partner and I still have to know guys but of course, this with insulin bomb I do not have so clear that it is very easy.

Could anyone explain if the bomb is removed during sex?How do people manage?

I know it can be a delicate issue but it seems important to me.

Thanks in advance:-*

Good bubble girl ... I have been with bomb for a year and a half.I unscrew a horita and voila.Do not fear

@"Marcos_J_M" Thank you very much for answering!You also remove the catheter or do you have to screw it somewhere?

Let's see depends on situations and postures, you don't always disconnect, there are people who also use fannyas or sports belts although aesthetically do not usually like, but there are some very beautiful especially for girls where you can completely hide the pump and the catheterSee nothing.You must gradually control what you burn and know that it is complicated and you can be putting micrunities every certain moments and being all the time you want.The important thing that exists insulin in the body.
The tube if you can remove it from the body but the base will remain in the body, that is, the pipe that makes it between insulin in the body and carry injected, that is, something you always carry visible but cover, it is covered,

@"JCONEGAR" Thank you very much for your answer.
The truth is that now that you have clarified it, I look calmer, it seems nonsense but it brought me up.

Thank you:-*

On the beach I have seen that they take it completely leaving only a patch.I don't think there is danger in doing the same thing practicing sex.In addition, sex helps lower glucose ...

You disconnect and put (although it is not necessary, because it carries an internal membrane that is complicated to transfer) the cap to the canula and enjoy.You will only have a patchecillo in the body with the dog little larger than a thumb.

Hello Bubble Girl:
I agree with the others in the group, such as an intelligent pump and you already know how to program it only disconnects by the ratic, and you place it when you finish, since it has the ability to calculate the amount of insulin that your body needs.

When I started with the bomb my endocrine, very prudently, he told me that when he went to "exercise" he reduced the basal infusion at 50% from half an hour before until an hour later.And if you don't want to load with the device, they have already told you, you take it off and go.

I am sorry to answer so late but I have not stopped lately.
Thank you all for your contributions.I am aware that this is a complicated issue to deal with in "public", but within my circle of friendships and family I don't even have any other diabetic to talk to.So, thanks (again ... I am a heavy) of all my heart, not only for answering here but for having managed to create this great network:-*
