Can I do sports while wearing a tubeless patch pump?
Yes, you can do sports and participate in physical activities while wearing the Accu-Chek® Solo tubeless patch pump. However, you should always disconnect the Accu-Chek® Solo tubeless patch pump for showers and swimming, or in situations which could damage the insulin pump itself (contact sports, judo, boxing, etc.).
And just like a durable insulin pump, you should remove your Accu-Chek® Solo tubeless patch pump in these situations:
- Hot tub, sauna, or whirlpool
- Beach activities and water parks
- Heavy exercise or contact sports
- Medical imaging, such as CT scans or MRI
