My motto in life? Diabetes does not control me – I control it!!

Hey Miss Rosetta! Glad to hear from another diabetic that has used these. I was placing my pump in the pocket behind the lace, since I wear the Animas Ping which means I don't have to pull out the pump to bolus, etc. and use the remote instead. I'm hoping by keeping the pump in that area, there will be less stress on the lace (did you know you can store stuff in the "behind the lace" pocket??? Ouch on the stretching out so fast! Did you write to "Girly Go Garter" to tell them about this? Since I sew, I wish I could find the grip fabric that they use ... since I'd make my own ... but I've not had much luck in finding anything like that for the home sewer!!! Lucky you ... going to the Med ... one day ... hope to be there ... if I get the guts to sail across the ocean ... and have the time to do it :) By: : Feb, 25, 2015 00:58 AM
I have the "Girly Go Garter" as well and love it because it makes me feel pretty while wearing my pump. I often feel like the bionic woman with this contraption attached to me lol. But garters are sexy, so this product really helps my self esteem. A couple of drawbacks though... I wore it everyday for about 3mos and the lace already has a massive hole in it from where I was putting my pump. Also, the medium was too small to put on my upper thigh, so I bought the large. Well, now the large has stretched out so much that it does not stay put on the largest part of my leg, at the tightest position. Very unfortunate that I already have to replace it after only 3mos! It is available for purchase on Amazon for $35, so looks like I'll be ordering a new one in Med. soon... garter (1) device (1) leg cuff (1) pump (1) insulin (1) Related posts:Instructions for Making a Thigh Insulin Pump Holder | Edmonton man denied insulin for 20 hours | She’s got legs and she knows how to use them (the semi-Fashionista and her pump)! | Shame on Johnson & Johnson / Animas | REMOVAL – clinical trial for T1D's in UK, Australia, Canada, Denmark and Netherlands | Riding thru' the mountains of the Adirondacks | My Porky Pig fingers are tired | Smooth sailing with CATSCA / TSA | Is insulin a youth preserver? | Official response from Animas with 2020 s/w issue |
