Hid-In - insulin pump accessories

Hid-In - insulin pump accessories Accessories designed for people living with Type 1 diabetes who wear insulin pumps Hello. Prior to the move I transitioned from insulin pens to pump therapy.

My name is Katie Isherwood and at 22 I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. I was about to start my final year of Fashion Design at Central St Martins, London. On top of creating my final catwalk collection I had to learn to manage my diabetes.

14 years later I was a lingerie designer living in Hong Kong and working for a large manufacturer. My career had taken me around the world, combining diabe

tes management with an active work and social life. It was tricky at times but I learned to fit diabetes around the life I chose. Over the years my insulin pump and I travelled the world. We've been to desert islands and skied down mountains together. We've been to interviews, yoga classes, wedding banquets, first dates and dance classes. And when I couldn't find pump accessories to fit the outfit or occasion, which was often the case, I made and customised my own, from Body Bands to Pocket Pants. Informed by my underwear design and development experience, and made from cutting edge fabrics I sourced in the Far East, these hand made accessories helped me to comfortably conceal and carry my pump. They lifted some of the anxiety of wearing and accessing my pump in public and so gave me back my confidence and freedom. They also opened my wardrobe back up again. And if they helped me perhaps they could help others? Pump therapy is an incredibly effective way to manage Type 1 diabetes, and after exploring the market for several years I knew first hand that there was a need for products that made these devices easier to wear. And so Hid-In was born.

My day in dots:
Made it to the gym today, the first time in 3 weeks.
Arrived with good BG, running a little higher (round hill of green dots) perfect for exercise. I jumped straight in the running machine, BG started going down, but unfortunately I forgot to put in the exercise mode and had a hypo (2 red dots) which I had to treat with Jellybabies, completely cancelling out the calories she’s with the warm up run 😡
Met my friend at the gym and did almost 2 hours mixed exercises (bumpy green line) Realised that the leggings I was wearing were from 12 years ago so decided to buy more on the way home.
Next graph: Whilst getting changed I pulled out my cannula on some extra tight leggings (steep green dots climb upwards)
Also you can see if you look at the top left corner that my exercise mode remained on until just now when i spotted it in the screen shot. This is very typical for me. Exercise mode can often stay on through the night and into the next day - I feel that this is a pump feature that needs looking at : ) perhaps an “exercise has ended?” alarm prompt?
Have you experienced similar?
Show me your day in graphs with text (can anyone share a link to show how to overlay text, graphics and visuals onto images to make a better version of this post? Thanks!)
