Maybe it’s because I’m older, maybe because I already have body images issues that the pump can’t make worse (and should help), but this isn’t an issue.
Pumplandia: Violet’s Diabetes Blog: I’m Too Sexy for My Pump, Part II
Maybe because my husband confesses whenever I ask him how I look, he doesn’t notice, but the pump has never been an issue for us. I’ve learned after 18 years of marriage to say things like — is the front of the skirt hanging shorter than the back? Rather than a generic, does it look good.
When I was first thinking of the pump, it was funny, because he said — insulin pump? Scott Verplank has one. He’s played better ever since.
The only other comments he’s made on the pump has been positive. My mother was appalled that he was consulted on the financial aspects of the pump — but I had already put in a plan where it didn’t affect joint money it wasn’t a problem.
He jumped back on her and told her that it was the best decision I had ever made, and I was happier on the pump than before without it, and that alone was worth the purchase price.
So don’t worry about it. In my opinion, guys don’t notice things NEAR as much as you think.
