While the insulin pump is one innovation that gives more freedom and control than ever before, children and teens with type one diabetes (T1D) often struggle to secure their insulin pump when playing or exercising. Exposed tubes get caught, sites get pulled out (Ouch!). Pumps fly out of pockets and smash on the ground. Receivers get lost somewhere on the field.
Pump Pocket was created to solve this real problem for Founder Sharica Rodgers’ son when he got his first insulin pump at age 10. Seeing how much the garments helped him, the company decided to share their discovery with the world.
Pump Pocket™ garments are designed with multi-specialized pockets that hold an insulin pump and/or receiver all day long, whether it’s on the playground or on the trampoline.
Our vision is to empower those pumping insulin to play free. Our mission is to develop a new fit that makes pump-wearing easy and seamless.
