I have all my technology in my "man purse". I carry everything in it. I even had backup pump supplies for Katie's Medtronic...and my pump is an Animas! So, carry your Coach if you like, ladies. We men prefer our Columbia back packs! Smart men like me (or in my case, not-as-dumb-as-Forrest men), use back packs. I have all my technology in my “man purse”. I carry everything in it.

The stiff, heavy belt that will hold all our devices at waist level, so we know which one to grab when one rings, vibrates, or does anything else. (There's an old Dilbert comic that has Dilbert losing a one-upsmanship contest with a co-worker for the latest, greatest gadgets on his belt... until the co-worker gets an incoming fax, unfolding over him like a loincloth.) Or maybe I should just direct everyone over to ScotteVest.com and suggest some of the 'hidden pocket' clothing with "personal area network". The openings to pass through headphone wires should work just as well for pump tubing, and there are pockets galore... I’m beginning to think we need a woman’s version of the good ol’ Utility Belt.

I use my phone as an alarm clock so when I wake up with it next to me I sometimes confuse it with my pump lying next to me. Haven't tried to make a phone call with it yet though... that one's hard to top! Haha yes, I call Stacey with every gadget issue that comes my way!
