Re: [JewishIP] Questions & Questions +Too Much Stuff to Carry Aro un   Message List

There are many on this list who will tell you how they carry or clip their
pump. I would suggest that you contact your Animas rep and ask the same
question. My son uses the Cozmo pump and his rep has a beeper, two cell
phones and his pump besides his wallet and keys. Watching him maneuver
everything while talking to us was quite an eye opener.

Sleeping - my son is also a restless sleeper and he keeps it clipped to his
pajama bottoms. He has never complained that he woke up because of the pump.

Now the harder question.

(snip) Lastly, so far, my Rebbe told me not to fast for any reason what so
ever, since I'm diabetic. He said that being diabetic means that I'm
fasting all the time. However, now that I have a Pump, what is
generally accepted for Yom Kippur? (end snip)

I am not sure what you mean by "fasting all the time"?

For more information on fasting with the pump see our Tishrei 5764 issue of
Going ForWarD.

Both the pump and better long acting insulin (Lantus) have made an impact on
the issue of fasting. You may want to review the issues mentioned in that
article with your Rav and medical team and see what they think about you
fasting.
