Quick fixes (by problem)

• CGM peeling or shifting at night → secure hold with Dia-Band
• “Where do I put my pump when I sleep?” → soft, stable carry with Dia-Belly Belt 2 (G-Hook)
• Want less waistband pressure? → pump clothing with side pockets
• Toddlers & young kids → kids harness designed for night routines

1) CGM peeling or shifting at night

Turning in bed, sweat, and friction can make a sensor feel less secure. The goal at night is not “tight”—it’s steady: keeping the sensor stable so it doesn’t catch on sheets or clothing.

Recommended solution: Dia-Band (second-skin feel)

• Maintains and secures your CGM on the arm like a second skin.
• Helps reduce friction and accidental bumps while you sleep.
• Works for many sensors and also pod-style devices.

2) “Where do I put my insulin pump at night?”

At night, comfort and routine matter. Most people want a carry option that stays put, feels soft against the skin, and helps keep tubing closer to the body.

Recommended solution: Dia-Belly Belt 2 (G-Hook)

• Soft, close-to-body belt designed to carry a tubed pump around the belly/waist.
• Adjustable fit to match sleep positions (side, back, mixed).
• Helps keep the pump in a consistent place during the night.

3) If you want less pressure (or fewer tubing snags)

If you don’t like anything around your waist, pocket-based carry is often the simplest night solution. The idea is to keep the pump supported and the tubing routed closer to the body.

Recommended solution: Pump clothing with side pockets

• Built-in pockets for a stable, low-pressure carry option.
• Easy to keep tubing under clothing for fewer “dangling” sections.

4) Toddlers & young kids: keeping the pump safe at night

For little ones, parents often want the pump secure, comfortable, and out of curious hands. A back-carry solution can also make bedtime routines simpler.

Recommended solution: Dia-Harness (kids)

• Designed for children to carry a tubed insulin pump on the back.
• Useful for day and night routines, especially for younger kids.

Night best practices (device-agnostic)

• Keep tubing closer to the body when possible (under clothing or within a belt/pocket system).
• Avoid loose loops near blankets, bed rails, and door handles in the morning rush.
• Choose “steady over tight”: comfort helps consistency—and consistency helps sleep.
