[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2218946, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=494772]@Connie’s Dad[/USER] I use a pump belt and sleep on my tum as well as toss and turn a fair bit and it’s only woke me a couple of times in 4 years, others put it under their pillow. What sort of negative stuff has she heard ? Can you buy some stickers for it online to personalise it ? In terms of falling in love with it, name it, call it her super computer pancreas, kids love gadgets so in time her attitude will hopefully change. Tell her it can do so much more than pens, it will give her flexibility with exercise/food, it can give teeny amounts of insulin so her control will get tighter and more manageable. Personally I wish all t1 kids had one as they really can help greatly to drill down on control, I went for years with HbA1c’s over 60+ and now they are below 50 and nearing 40, it’s down to how I use the pump but without it it would be impossible, hope she comes round :) [/QUOTE]
