"Try Bands4Life. They are made of swimsuit material, to your size. My son finds that they work great on his arm, in and out of the pool."

daneenm replied to MisMelissa's discussion 'Lots of Hypos lately' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"I agree with the comments about full vs. 1/2 units. My son used 1/2 units until he was 7 or 8 (dx at 20 months)and now that he is pumping, of course uses increments of units still. We are 10 years in to T1D and in the last 2 weeks, we are having…"
daneenm replied to aimeeh2oski's discussion 'Behavior problems in T1 children' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"A very wise and experienced parent of a young adult daughter with T1D, often reminds people that we need to remember that T1D is not the root of every issue our children have. It is such a natural tendency to wonder if things happen or are made…"
daneenm replied to Type1Mom's discussion 'POD - Has anyone tried the newest pod on their child?' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"We don't have the new pod yet, but my son (12) has been on the pod since he was 7. The only times it has been knocked off was when he did it himself, coming around a corner and knocking into the door jamb or getting out from under a table and…"
daneenm replied to SANTI's discussion 'SCARY LOW EVENT - SYNTHOMS?' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Yes! Our son had an experience like that when he was about 5. It was like what I hear night terrors described as. It took nearly 10 minutes for him to 'wake up' and he really didn't remember the incident at all.
Lows at night, I…"
daneenm replied to MomtoClara's discussion 'Explaining diabetes to preschoolers' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"We used Taking Diabetes to School from preschool through 3rd grade."
daneenm replied to 1eyednurseguy's discussion 'Pet peeves' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Yikes! A smattering of that reality could be helpful in a 'learn from my mistakes' kind of way, but I'm guessing it was a lot more than that. I think this is a bit of human nature. I can remember at my baby showers, people would dish…"
daneenm replied to LukesMom's discussion 'Bearskin Meadow Camp vs. Camp De Los Ninos' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"We have only been to Family Camp, but I have heard great things about both Bearskin and De Los Ninos. I don't think you can go wrong with either."
daneenm replied to 1eyednurseguy's discussion 'Pet peeves' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"I do think most folks are just uneducated. When my son was first dx at age 20 months, I got both 'he isn't overweight' and 'did you feed him a lot of sugar?' a lot. Drove me crazy!"
daneenm replied to jakesmom427's discussion 'Feeling very angry right now' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"Totally understand. My son was dx at 20 months, so I understand exactly how you feel. Those toddler years are so volatile in BGs on a normal day, and add illness and it can be maddening/scary/exhausting!
I will tell you that as they get older,…"
daneenm commented on Mathew's group 'OmniPod Users'"Have you tried putting Tegaderm down on her skin first and then put the pod on top of that?"
daneenm replied to sweetmom's discussion 'how often do you change your basal rates/ I:C ratios on your child?' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"My son has had T1D for 10 years, starting at 20 months. Up until the last 6 months or so we made changes quite frequently. He is now nearly 12 (in two weeks) and I have noticed in the last 6 months we have not changed a lot. Strange because he is…"
daneenm replied to Jen's discussion 'Bone Age X-Ray' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"We JUST did this with my son. In his case it was because he has suddenly grown in a'certain area' and the doctore wanted to be sure he wasn't farther along in his bone growth than he should have been. The x-ray was easy and pretty…"
daneenm replied to ProudMama's discussion 'Snacks' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"My son drinks Gatorade throughout his swim practice. This was suggested by our CDE and it has worked really well. Snacks that we use before swim are milk (in the juice box type cartons), peanut butter and jelly crackers, yogurt, salami cheese and…"
daneenm replied to Jen in CO's discussion 'how long do your child's pump sites last?' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"My son's omniPod sites almost always last 3 days. That would be tough to have repeated issues one day in."
daneenm replied to O's Mom's discussion 'Looking for Disney advice.' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"I should say that this was my FAVORITE reference when we were planning our WDW trip! I refer people to AllEars and your guide often. Thank you very much for putting it out there!"
