Just started on the Equil wireless insulin pump, how do you guys manage to avoid spikes right after taking a shower?

Cause since it's not waterproof I have to take it off for 8 to 15 minutes (doc said it would be alright but ehhhh) and every time I go high even if I start at somewhat steady 110, I end up going 160 and arrow up minutes after.

I need help/some advice cause it's just pissing me off to see a simple shower ruin my blood sugar. Is there a trick? For reference, I've been on MDI for the last 10 years so I got close to none experience with this pump-attached-to-your-body stuff 😅

Basically what the title says cause that's just so annoying, at night especially!! When I'm having a low and I sleep through the first alarm (happens more often than I'd like) then why do I have to wait for another 15 minutes to hear it again when I might go even lower in the next few minutes 😭😭
