Evening. New to this forum.
Our local NHS have today taken our 12yo daughter off her omnipod pump and replaced it with novorapid and lantus pens. Apparently all children when 12 need to come off their pump and go on pens for 1-month. They have told us that if she doesn’t do this they will not let her continue with her omnipod! She was diagnosed at 2 and has had her pump since 3. She doesn’t know any different. She has major self confidence issues because of the diabetes and also coeliac and now this. She is now dreading going back to school. Has anyone else experienced this when reaching 12? We live in Cumbria. Thanks in advance. K
