Can you answer Aqua’s question about Diabetes?:
My 5 year old cousin has an insulin pump. We want to take him swimming. What is the best way to secure his site? We’ve tried Tegaderm and Band-Aids. Any suggestions? We don’t want to water log the site. If he’s in the bath very long, the skin around his site becomes loose.

If you have a pump, what do you do to keep water away from your site?
Thanks in advance!
