A member asked:
Could my brother snowboard with his insulin pump?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Hi. Yes he can. Keep the pump and the tubing inside warm gear next to the body...the tubing has a huge surface area:volume ratio, and if the insulin freezes, delivery would cease, and he could get in trouble. But with that precaution, no problem boarding or skiing with a pump on.
