DWizard replied to Andi's discussion 'What age did your child start on a pump?' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"We went on the Medtronic pump 6 months after diagnosis, at 1,6 years old.

Aimee replied to Andi's discussion 'What age did your child start on a pump?' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"My daughter was 4 when she went on a pump.

M. replied to Andi's discussion 'What age did your child start on a pump?' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"My son was diagnosed at age 5. He wasn't ready for the pump until recently.

Celeste replied to Andi's discussion 'What age did your child start on a pump?' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Our daughter was diagnosed at 25 months and she was on the Omnipod by 35 months - now she is just over 4 years old.
