Hi @doingitforbee Ellie was diagnosed in feb this year. We had taken her to the doctors with concerns over weight loss and extreme thirst, 24 hours later they were admitting her to hospital with dangerously high blood sugars. The nurses commented on the fact they hadn't seen a child so poorly...

The DN that came last night brought 3 pumps with her that are currently offered in our area the omnipod just happened to be one of them that's all [emoji53]

Fingers crossed she likes it when it comes to actually getting it x

Thanks @wrobin Ellie starts secondary school next September so I'm hoping the pump will help her feel more like everyone else when it comes to lunch times and PE [emoji4]

Thank you @himtoo and @catapillar [emoji846] Ellie really liked the simplicity of the omnipod, she currently uses the freestyle libre and felt the two were very similar in terms of place on skin, click, go [emoji846]

Thank you [emoji4]

DN is so on the ball! She'd already pre booked an appointment with the psychologist for October half term in the hope that Ellie would decide to go ahead with one! If that goes well then Ellie looks to be starting the pump in December just as schools break up for Xmas [emoji846]

So, the nurse has been. She Explained to Ellie (and us) how much easier things would be in the long run to be on a pump. She showed her 3 different options and let her have a fiddle around with them. Teddy even got to try them out [emoji23] Ellie has now decided she wants a pump as soon as...

Thank you all your support is much appreciated

Thank you!

Thanks everyone. We're struggling with her bloods at the min and she hates having to have corrections [emoji53] Ellie's 10 and very active with scouts and majorettes. We've told her the final decision will be hers as we don't want her to have something she hates more than injections. DN is...

Do you mind me asking which pump you use? Do you find it easy to use?

Thank you x

So, we are entering our 8 month of our daughters diabetes journey. The last month or so has been a bit of a nightmare with high blood levels through the night and then even higher bloods 24/7 when she caught a nasty cold [emoji53]. The support we got from Ellie's DN was amazing. Following a...

My daughter is a little older at 10 but she was diagnosed in February this year and was back to school after just 2 weeks. Her DN held a meeting with all the school staff and explained Ellie's diabetes to them. She then held a further meeting with Ellie's teacher and school nurse/first aider...

Like you both say so many things could of caused it. Just a bit worrying when we've been able to control it before just not this time. Guess we'll just have to see what the consultant says later x

No sign of illness so far. No need to be sorry about the treat we've had words about that before but no treats this time. Your right about the honeymooning, she has been since 2 weeks after diagnosis. I'm starting to think it could be slowly coming to an end though as bloods have been...

No, it was only changed at the weekend and has been working ok so far

Today is Ellie's 6 month review with her consultant at the hospital. Really not sure how this appointment is going to go as her bloods have not been behaving themselves recently. Unexplainable random highs that lead to correction doses or dramatic drops in blood levels (hyper to hypo in less...

Yes because blood levels are changing very quickly
