Hello everyone!!
So I thought that it would be cool to talk about ideas on wearing an insulin pump while wearing your wedding dress. While looking for my wedding dress, I thought about many things. Where should I put my pump? Where should I put my Dexcom? Should I wear a ball gown to hide it better or could I wear a mermaid style dress with it? I am sure those thoughts go through every diabetic bride's mind, but that shouldn't take away from what you actually want to wear. As I was trying on dresses, I did leave my pump on just so that I can get an idea of what I could do with it. Some people use a wrap around their leg and then hook their pump on that, some people may even go pumpless for the day just so that they don't have to worry about it, but what I have decided to do is put my pump in my chest area. I thought that this will be easier to pull out when I needed to take insulin. So for every dress that I tried on I put my pump in my chest area. You can't even see that I am wearing a pump in my wedding dress! For my Dexcom, I am still not sure what I am going to do with this. I am sure that on our wedding day it will be crazy busy so in order to measure my blood sugar during the day, I want to wear my Dexcom. I will have to make sure that I am checking my blood sugar, eating, and giving myself insulin during the day. I have already had some bridesmaids saying that they will be taking care of me! haha. So if you have any ideas on wear I should put my Dexcom on my wedding day let me know!! Oh,h and I thought I would share some pictures with you of me trying on dresses. (Ps, don't worry none of those are my wedding dress! You'll have to wait and see what it is on my big day(; )
