The insulin pump is water resistant, which means that it is designed to withstand accidental dunks or splashes. However, you should temporarily disconnect your MiniMed Paradigm® Insulin Pump while bathing or if you plan to be in the water. Talk with your healthcare professional to establish a plan for diabetes management while you are disconnected if you plan to remove it regularly for swimming or other activities.
