jojo replied to Kellie's discussion 'what are the issues I should look for with a pump' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Hi , my daughter is 12 and was diagnosed 5 months ago. She at first was adament that she did not want a pump, no tubing for her as she liked to wear tight fitting clothes. Now she is warming up to it and wants only the omnipod. I had…"
Lori replied to Kellie's discussion 'what are the issues I should look for with a pump' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"My Daughter was doing shots for 6 months before she wanted to go on the pump. Yes there are some drawbacks to the pump, but for her, it has been so much more freeing and she doesn't feel as restricted with what time she eats and what she…"
Kellie replied to Kellie's discussion 'what are the issues I should look for with a pump' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Thanks so much to everyone for all of your feedback. I am so excited (I was going to say pumped, but thought better of it!) to hear that basically the pump is a good thing and althogh there are things to watch for, it can make your life a little…"
Kellie replied to Kellie's discussion 'what are the issues I should look for with a pump' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"My son is 12...he is on Novalog covering carbs at 1/10 and on 18 units of Levimer at night. With the exception of yesterday after lunch he has been in his "range" 80-180 with some extreme lows in the middle of the night and after…"

Natasha Bowlds replied to Kellie's discussion 'what are the issues I should look for with a pump' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"So sorry to hear of your diagnosis. It's such a hard disease to get "used to," and things change so much - I have found online support key to what I know and I how I cope, so I'm glad to see you here!
So I agree with what…"
crusso replied to Kellie's discussion 'what are the issues I should look for with a pump' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Thanks. I was really hesitant to get the omnipod and now I feel like it is a possibility. I can't get my son to agree to the pump:( , so they won't even do it right now anyway. I wish I could find a local pump user so he could see it in…"
crusso replied to Kellie's discussion 'what are the issues I should look for with a pump' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"That's cool. I didn't know they let you do the omnipod anywhere else. I will have to look into that. My son won't let us do the shots anywhere but the arms or thighs. He is very hesitant to get the pump because he doesn't want…"
Natasha Bowlds replied to Kellie's discussion 'what are the issues I should look for with a pump' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"I hear a lot about people hearing things like this in pump classes, and I don't know where it comes from. My son is thin, and wears his omnipods on his arms. He has had probably 4 - 5 fall off in 1.5 years of using them.…"
daneenm replied to Kellie's discussion 'what are the issues I should look for with a pump' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"My son is quite thin and has had no issue. Having said that, the belly is not a site we use (he won't do shots there either). We use upper thighs, lower hip/top of the tush, and backs of the arms.
When he swims, the…"
