hello,
My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes a year ago. She has been on a basal bolus routine for the last year. despite a good Hb1 (about 8 - informed not bad for a toddler), her levels peak after meal times & make her very cranky at the time & don't tend to return to normal level until near her meal times when we boost them up again!!! She also seems to produce ketones at the bat of an eye lid & has required & hospital admissions in the last year due to this, thankfully her blood gases have always been fine. Due to toddler eating habits she has her injections following food to allow us to carb count. We have been offered the opportunity of go on a pump to try & even these out. I love the idea of the pump, it seems genius, but what I want to know is does anyone have expeience of having someone so young on a pump? Do they try & pull it out? Does it impair their play with other children? Would love to hear someone's experiences, all the research I have done has been with older children or adults.
look forward to hearing from anyone regarding this
