"I'm sorry, I'm T2, not a parent of a T1 and I certainly was not diagnosed as a teen. But I would like to make two suggestions. First, in 2011, I met a therapist in DC. Her name is Jody Brand Levine (http://diabetestherapyandmore.com) and…"

But, I was one of these kids too, and I was just like your son. Any of us here who were dx as a teen can totally relate to what you both are going…"
Spock replied to Lisa Dalbec Fiecke's discussion 'Teens who don't test'"I was just a very, very lonely teen in th 60's. No real testing (only TesTape.)No one was really aware, at that time, of diabetes in children. All anyone was worried about was a low blood glucose. which NO ONE COULD TEST FOR!!! Someone to talk…"
acidrock23 replied to Lisa Dalbec Fiecke's discussion 'Teens who don't test'"I would look into suing the therapist for malpractice. I have a 14 year old and we are constantly feuding about stuff but I think that she respects that I'm in good shape with diabetes because I take care of myself a lot. 12 is very damaging. I…"

"This is a very difficult situation. I bet your son is at an age where he thinks he is invincible, knows better than his parents, does not want to feel different or excluded from his friends and might be suffering from burnout. You can encourage him…"

Hi everyone, my 14 year (9th grade) son is not testing as he should and I just am at a loss as to how to make him do this. He wears an omni pod but when it expires he'll let it go and do shots until he feels like putting one on. I have tried nagging him which seems to only make it worse. He saw a therapist recommended by his doctor who pretty much gave him license to not test. She said as long as he saw his endo yearly they would catch anything that was happening! She also said I shouldn't bug…See More

IBelieve replied to Lisa Dalbec Fiecke's discussion 'Itching on pod? MUST READ!!' in the group OmniPod Users"Nice. It is so much better for BG control to be able to wear a pump/pod. Which Tegaderm product do you use? There are multiple listed on their website.
My daughter itches because her pod gets pushed around while sleeping, lifting school backpack…"
Jacob's mom left a comment for Lisa Dalbec Fiecke"Lisa, I was just curious, you mentioned your son knocked his pod off during a game, my son is not super athletic and he is ussually close to home but did you change it immediately or let him finish the game knowing he probably wouldn't get into…"
Jacob's mom replied to Lisa Dalbec Fiecke's discussion 'Itching on pod? MUST READ!!' in the group OmniPod Users"Jacob tried the top thigh area maybe not the best spot for your guy if he is really lean, he liked it for a bit so he could be incognito in his bathing suit ( god forbid someone see his pod, i understand it is a tough age...) i have tried to…"
Katsz replied to Lisa Dalbec Fiecke's discussion 'Itching on pod? MUST READ!!' in the group OmniPod Users"Wow.... My son is lucky to not have itching at all. I was afaid he would because he does from bandaids.. and medical tape but not from the pods. I am allergic to medical tape... found out this after my first C-section.. OMG! I even blistered. I will…"
Lisa Dalbec Fiecke replied to Lisa Dalbec Fiecke's discussion 'Itching on pod? MUST READ!!' in the group OmniPod Users"Yes, we let it dry completely and the tegaderm has no trouble sticking. Without the flonase the tegaderm itches him as well. He has tried claritin and zyrtec orally for the itching but neither of them worked. This has been the only thing that has…"

- Lisa, I was just curious, you mentioned your son knocked his pod off during a game, my son is not super athletic and he is ussually close to home but did you change it immediately or let him finish the game knowing he probably wouldn't get into to much trouble in an hour or two of vigorous play. Obviously if Jacob wasn't active at the time we would change it right away but say we were hiking, he would be really upset if we neeed to change his pod immediately. Just got me thinking ....have a good week. Amy
