Julie DeFruscio is a proud mother and the co-owner of Pump Wear. When Julie's little girl was diagnosed with diabetes in 2001, she was fitted with a big dorky insulin pump harness. Julie was horrified. When she went looking for alternatives to the bulky contraption she found they were just as medical-looking. Feeling that the last thing little kids need is to be lugging around medical equipment that screams "I have a disability" to the world, DeFruscio began designing her own insulin pump holders. She ended up going into business with friend Dawn Juneau. Hey presto! Pump Wear was born.

The company produces cool and stylish insulin pump holders for adults and kids. There are little packs that clip around the waist, perfect for wee ones, and there are also pump pack t-shirts, which have pump pockets sewn on the back or front (see picture). All are colorful and very hip and most definitely not medical-looking. Check out the Pump Wear website to view all the available designs and to shop online.
