Intimate Insulin Pump issues...

I seem to run into some issues when being intimate with my partner, and involving my insulin pump. >.<

If I leave my insulin pump on, it gets in the way, and I've noticed my blood sugar will lower alot. :/

If I take my insulin pump off, it seems I get really high blood sugar about a half hour or so later. :(

It's really frustrating because I want to have a good time, but I feel crappy if my blood sugar isn't in control. :/

I am just wondering what others do, if they have an insulin pump, to manage their sugars better, and w/intimate issues.

:/

" i have tried both on and off and had no problems. just if you take it off get it back on as soon as possible. if you leave it on put it on your back to keep it out of the way. "
