"You need to look into why the pump stops working at night. The company that makes them might be able to help you. My daughter's pump has never stopped working. That could be very dangerous."

It was quite a struggle to keep him out of the hospital, but he made it through ok."

My daughter was diagnosed in 10/10 with a blood sugar of 669, was admitted to Childrens immediately and has been on insulin ever since. She is now on the pump.

Jillx4 commented on Penny R.'s group 'parents of kids with Type 1'"My 4-year-old daughter was diagnosed 11 1/2 months ago. She is starting on the pump on Oct 17th. I'm excited but a little nervous. Does anyone have any advice for us?"

Jillx4 commented on Penny R.'s group 'parents of kids with Type 1'"We're currently on Humalog and Humulin and will soon be switching to Lantus in a couple of weeks. Is there a bottle form that you draw up into a needle? I'd rather use a pen as I think it would be easier to drAw up exact doses."
Brian (bsc) replied to Jillx4's discussion 'Humulin N vs Lantus...which one is better and why?'"Lantus is approved for use by kids, but it has not been studied in children younger than 6 years. That does not mean that it is unsafe, only that it has just not been studied. And better is a relative term. While many people find Lantus works very…"
Anthony Holko replied to Jillx4's discussion 'Humulin N vs Lantus...which one is better and why?'"I am not sure if lantus is approved for children if it is then I would go for it based on my horrid experience with NPH. The only good thing NPH is that it is cheap."

Humulin N (NPH) is a medium acting insulin. It has a full life of about 10-16 hours and is usually given every 8 hours to try and keep a relatively constant supply.
Lantus (Glargine) is…"

- Hi Jill, I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say I hope everything is going smooth during your first week on the pump. My four year old daughter Isabelle has been on the pump since June 6/11 (dx Feb 17/11). Although things will be an uphill battle, I can tell you almost 5 months later that it is amazing. It has given her and us freedom that I thought was gone forever. I did not feel like I had much resources, help or anyone to ask my questions to, so please feel free to contact me for any advice I may be able to offer. cb_sheppard@hotmail.com. Good Luck. Robin
