Hi all - I live in Tanzania, and we are taking my 7year old son home to start him up on a Tandem + Dexcom G6 system. We need to get it right as we go back ASAP after he gets the pump/sensors. He usually is in school/sports at 8 am – 4 pm, and that is my main concern.
All advice on how to manage his diabetes with this setup would be highly appreciated.
I was wondering: Should he get a phone so that we can follow his Dexcom-readings? Is there an Android Phone that works great, or does he need an iPhone? Does he need the Dexcom receiver?
During sports/swimming: does he take off sensor-transmitter and pump? – can we expect issues with that?
He is rather skinny, but that does not concern his doctor much. Any experience with where to put sensor/infusion set?
Cheers
Soren
