Can I swim or shower while wearing my Minimed pump?

The MiniMed insulin pumps are designed with water resistance in mind, allowing users to swim or shower while still wearing the device. However, it is essential to check the specific model of the pump, as water resistance may vary between different versions. For many models, the pump can be worn in shallow water, such as during swimming, and should be fine during a shower. Nonetheless, it is important to ensure that the pump is securely fastened and that the infusion set is properly in place to avoid any accidental water exposure. While most users find their devices to be reliable in these situations, it is always a good practice to refer to the specific user manual or the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure proper care and usage.
