I recently tried an Aquapac to store my continuous glucose monitor in while swimming. I don't know if it would be possible for your son to swim while wearing one. But it's one option if you want to try out an insulin pump.
My son is not on the pump as he is in a swimming team and is in the water for about 2 hours per day. According to his Doctor, they do not have a waterproof pump or that could keep-up with his training. I believe that the pump might help him to keep a better control. But I guess I would have to wait until a new pump for swimmers becomes available.
Thanks again! Yenevin
I see that you joined the parents of kids with type 1 group. My son, Riley, was diagnosed when he was 3. He almost 6 now and uses an Animas pump.
Again, welcome.
