itching on belly

my t1 daughter is on her 3rd yr of omnipod. The last 4 months her belly itches intensely.

first job

my daughter will be 16 soon. When should you tell the employer about T1, during the interview process or after u get hired. I know employers cannot discriminate, but with the economy so bad most employers are being very stringent on who they hire.See More
