Chapter 17 Lifestyle Issues

Exercise and Sports

There are many options for wearing your pump during exercise and sports activities. During

“low-contact” sport activities, such as walking, biking or aerobics, the pump can be clipped

to the waistband, or for added security, placed in a “sport case.” During “contact” sports

such as baseball, basketball or hockey, the pump can be disconnected for up to one hour.

Always follow your healthcare team’s individual guidelines when disconnecting your pump;

you may need to compensate for missed basal insulin. Before and after you disconnect for

any length of time, remember to check your blood glucose levels.

Swimming

Your Animas® 2020 is tested for immersion in water to a depth of 12 feet (3.6 meters) for

24 hours under normal swimming conditions. You should not wear your pump while scuba

diving or when using high diving boards.

Your pump should not be taken into hot tubs, as the extreme temperature can adversely

affect insulin quality.

If your pump has been dropped, examine it carefully for cracks or signs of damage. If the

back label of the pump is not securely afﬁxed or if you suspect your pump may have been

damaged or otherwise had its waterproof integrity compromised, do not use in water.

Traveling

With an insulin pump, traveling becomes less complicated and more enjoyable. However,

traveling still requires preparation. Remember to order your pump supplies in advance and

pack the following items:

A letter from your physician that explains the necessity of carrying insulin supplies •

and wearing an insulin pump

A prescription for insulin, both rapid-acting for your pump and the type recommended •

by your healthcare team in case you need to take insulin by injection. (Remember,

the pump is designed and calibrated to use U100 concentration insulin only. Use of

any insulin with lesser or greater concentration can result in serious injury or death.)

Emergency supplies listed in Chapter 1•

Accessible snacks•

Bottled water to prevent dehydration while ﬂying. (Remember to check your blood •

glucose frequently to distinguish between high blood sugar dehydration and normal

ﬂight dehydration.)

The name of a referral physician at your ﬁnal destination in case of an emergency•
