thank you :-) today we have tried and failed to use the flip case on his front trouser pocket. this would be only way to keep the pump vertical. looks like i'll need to order one of the thigh strap.s

I posted yesterday about my son and three weeks of highs!!! Even the manufacture and our nurses are struggling to come up with solutions. Next stage for us is looking to change ratios and basals. Good luck.

the last two weeks of BG readings.

Following on from yesterday, he was 19 at 4am! Basically back to square one. Roche said I'm doing everything right, except need to try longer tubing to test out the pump vertical with tubing pointing down. Roche say air bubbles are still possible. Nurses say I'm doing everything right...
