are insulin pumps waterproof? So most of the insulin pumps are waterproof. They're designed in mind for people who would be swimming. There are some old-fashioned insulin pumps which were not waterproof and the advice was to take them off for an hour and then go for a swim and then you can still wear them after 45 minutes. The new pumps which come on the market like T-Slim X2, they all, or Medtronic 780G, they all come as a waterproof device, so if people choose to swim, they can still wear the pump and swim, so you need to find out if this is what you want to do, then you choose a pump which is waterproof, not all of them, but the new models, they're all waterproof.
