The insulin pump bag from Aquapac enables diabetics to go into the water with their insulin pump, which is a great improvement in quality of life for many of those affected, especially children. We have put together a bundle of five items that can be helpful, for 96,- € instead of 136.50 €: 

1. The insulin pump bag 158*: Cables and tubes up to 3.5mm can be routed out of the Aquapac without allowing water to enter the bag. With adjustable hip belt up to a maximum hip circumference of 115 centimetres. ATTENTION: We recommend using the bag only on the surface of the water, not underwater. Tested according to IPX6. Please note the recommendations listed further down in this article description if you use your insulin pump in the bag, as the insulin flow rate may be reduced**. 
2. Our CGM bag 170*: A small waterproof bag to protect and read your CGM, your glucose monitoring system. Take it with you wherever you go - even swimming. Guaranteed waterproof to a depth of 50 metres. All buttons and switches can be operated through the bag. Naturally, the measurement is transmitted through the film. With lanyard.

** Can I use insulin pumps in the AQUAPAC?

Since many inquiries for waterproof bags for insulin pumps are received, Aquapac UK from Imperial College London has carried out an examination of the Aquapac models "Radio Microphone" (identical to the bag 158 insulin pump *) and "Connected Electronics 558" * (is with the identical guide rail of the 158 * equipped) with insulin pumps.

The results show that in some cases, the flow of insulin can be reduced by closing the Aquapac. Small flow rates are particularly difficult. Therefore Aquapac assumes no liability for the consequences of using insulin pumps in Aquapacs. Use is at the discretion of the user. Aquapac has been recommended that users of insulin pumps in Aquapacs regularly check their blood sugar levels if they do not follow our recommendations.

The tests were carried out by the Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine with a Roche Accu-Chek Spirit insulin pump in August 2006 - at an ambient temperature of 20 ° C and insulin quantities of 2 and 10 units / hour.

The amounts of insulin delivered over 60 minutes were measured as follows:
2U / h without Aquapac: 0.0131g (flow rate 100%)
2U / h in Aquapac radio microphone / insulin pump: 0.0106g (flow rate 81%)
2U / h in Aquapac radio microphone / insulin pump (2nd test model): 0.0056g (flow rate 42%)
2U / h in Aquapac Connected Electronics: 0.0121g (flow rate 92%)
10U / h without Aquapac: 0.0864g (flow rate 100%)
10U / h in Aquapac radio microphone / insulin pump: 0.0878g (flow rate 100%)
10U / h in Aquapac Connected Electronics: 0.0903g (flow rate 100%)
