The tubings are in there pretty good!. If you managed to knock it loose or out, that was sommmmeee snuggle!. You go girl!
As for what happens, if he realized it came off, really nothing other than maybe an "ouch"!. When a site falls out the diabetic simply changes the site!. If he didn't notice he'll have elevated blood sugar on his next check!. Depending upon how long a pump is off he'll also start making ketones!.
Or is this an anticipation question!? A new boyfriend perhaps!. He'll probably be very undersanding to your fear of hurting him!. He can disconnect for up to an hour!. There are also fanny-pack type things that keep the pump snug against his waist!. Talk about it, you'll find something that works for both of you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Until he noticed and put in another site, he would stop getting his hourly basal doses of insulin which would result in his blood sugar rising!. It's not a problem as long as he realizes what's happening and corrects it!. This happened to me the other day!.!. mine actually came off during my sleep and I woke with a higher than normal fasting blood glucose!. As soon as I changed the site and got the insulin I needed to correct that high reading, I was fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
If you are afraid of this happening, ask him to disconnect his insulin pump while you are together like that, to avoid that!. Although the tape is really strong so it shouldn't rip apart so easily!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
