Anybody in here that is a T1D gymrat?

Type 1

I need help. I’m 15 and I’ve being going to the gym ever since I got diagnosed 2 years ago with T1D to overcome my depression. Everytime I go try and train legs my omnipod either is uncomfortable, or just falls off from squats, or just sweating in general. (It is not a problem on upper body days, only on leg days.) It’s usually on my stomach and I sometimes wear patches. I believe this may be because of the heavy weight I do (around 315) which requires me to wear a belt. People tell me to just stop squatting in general, but I want to squat 495 lbs (5plates) first before I quit squats for good. It also prevents me from excelling (in my opinion) because I have to stop after each set to make sure my pod is still attached to my body. What do you guys think? If anybody has any tips or has the same problem please feel free to reply thanks!!!
