There's a mom on the parents of type1 board who's daughter does competitive cheering. She might have lots of advice for you. Whether you keep it on or take it off for cheering would depend on how long you'd need to take it off and how active you are while it's off. There are pump packs you can use on your waist (check out the minimed products section on their site) so you could wear it while cheering.

Good luck with tryouts!

Just disconnect your pump and check ur bs during break. if u need insulin use insulin pen or recoonect to ur pump. thats what we do
