Me either. Maybe a type-o?

Wouldn’t his insulin pump be attached to him?

Wouldn’t his insulin pump be attached to him?

Question #3: Can I Take The Pump Off?
Yes, you can suspend and disconnect your pump and tubing from your infusion site with a simple pinch and turn (in most cases). However, you should never interrupt or stop the insulin delivery on your pump for more than an hour or so, unless you have a backup plan. When disconnecting, be sure to suspend your pump so that insulin isn’t delivered while the pump is not attached to you. You need to wear the pump most of the day and night (just clip it to your PJs or let it lay next to you in bed) in order to get the insulin you need. Depending on what you’re doing, you can be free of your pump for an hour or so to do things such as take a shower, go swimming, or for those intimate moments.

I hope they find him soon.

Perhaps they were talking about his insulin meter not his pump. The meter works wirelessly with the pump.
I think the pump will alert (beep) after it has been detached after a certain period of time.

Oh geez, did he take it off to go for a swim? Because let me tell you, I start dying pretty dang fast without my pump. I have learned to take very efficient showers.

My mom takes hers off to shower or swim. Sometimes if her blood sugar gets to low she will disconnect it for a while too.
