Hey, this happened to me about two years ago! Forgot I was wearing my pump and walked into the ocean. Oops. I was on a Greek island during Easter weekend - the worst possible time and way to need emergency medical care.
One thing I now do is always travel with one of my old insulin pumps. They may be 5, 10, even 15 years old, but they take the same infusion sets and all they need is a fresh AA/AAA battery and they’re as good as new. Thank you to the medical devices industry for making some resilient AF kit.
@dang can we have the title changed or something? Most of the diabetics in this thread (yourself included) agree that the title is misleading at best and simply false at worst.
