Thanks Sophie, I'm starting to see that's very true. We recently went on a Diabetes UK weekend and one of the organisers compared diabetes to a never ending jigsaw puzzle - when a problem arises, to solve you have to concentrate on just that piece of the puzzle to find the missing piece...but...

Hi all, Our three year old son also went on this pump at the end of March....after a tough first couple of weeks with LOADS of hypos, he's doing really well on it and I hope your children are too. The best thing for him and us has been the flexibility around eating - I nearly cried at the pump...

Our DSN did arrange for us to see both pumps (along with the Animas as well) and that...
