I have a 6 yr old child diagnosed T1D, and very sensitive to needles. I have been able to alleviate the finger prick pain altogether with this device called Genteel - its literally painless. However, the insulin is still a challenge. I ordered this thing called comfort-in, but I dont think it will work for us because we need very small amounts 0.5 units, 1 unit, 2 units. This seemed to be geared towards 5, 10,15 units etc. I have ordered tickleflex, and BD autoshield duo needles, hoping that might help. I read an article about jet injectors all going out of business because no one is buying them. Is there anything I can buy that can help with the discomfort of the needle for my daughter?
Is there anything else I can try? Especially for children? We are trying to delay the pump because she seems to be entering honeymoon and we really dont know how long that will last (hoping for a long long one).
