    Hi Everyone, My son currently has the Minimed Paradigm pump and is being upgraded to a 640g. He usually wears a pump pouch around his waist but I'm having trouble finding a suitable one. I usually make his pouches but don't have the time at the moment and wondered where some of you may get your...

    Type 1 child: Are Ballet Dancing and string instruments ok?

    Hi, I haven't said anything yet he's only had 1 lesson in normal clothing. I am hoping to speak to the dance teacher about him wearing pumps - I'm sure that will be fine.

    Type 1 child: Are Ballet Dancing and string instruments ok?

    My 4.5 year old has started dance but there will be elements of ballet in some sessions. Does anyone know if his feet will be affected if he did it? Only because he has to look after his feet and I wondered if it may be too much pressure. Also, he will be starting piano lessons but wants to...

    Hi, the pump is better for younger babies and children as it can deliver smaller amounts of insulin than the injections. Babies may not eat enough for the smallest insulin dose by pen and would be likely to have a hypo. My son was diagnosed at 11 months so feel free to message me for a chat if...

    Anyone currently or thinking about homeschooling?

    Hi 1Sarah1, We always said that we would put our son into nursery and if they messed up then he would come out. The teacher and TA's showed no interest in learning about his Diabetes management because I was at the school everyday with my son. I finally met with SENCO (for the first time since...

    Anyone currently or thinking about homeschooling?

    Well I guess you're all entitled to your opinions but it suits my son better which is what matters. Socialization was a concern for us but he goes to groups/activities daily and does learning at home daily too. He meets new children and regular ones all the time and has no problems sharing or...

    Anyone currently or thinking about homeschooling?

    So, about 3 weeks ago we took our son out of nursery and decided to home educate him. This was the best decision we made! Staff at his school were not really interested in learning about his Diabetes management and we had no confidence in them being competent. I had been volunteering in school...
