Does anyone here have experience with iPort? For some reason, our insurance does not have it listed, and our doctors seem to think its not as reliable. I am not sure why they would say this, because technically its the same device as the pump uses.

My daughter is a newly diagnosed T1d. At discharge they told us everytime we see her go below 130 overnight (check 2 times a night) bring her up with 15g carbs. She is now completely off the basal, (she went below 100 almost every night with basal), so we took it out slowly from 6 to 0. She has...

I know a lot of T1s maintain excellent sugar control by simply eating less carbs <30g a day. This is contrary to the advice we were given when leaving the hospital. We were told my 6 yr old T1 daughter needs 45-60 g carbs PER MEAL. Works out to around 130-180g carbs a day. We try to stick to...

So I have a 6yr old newly diagnosed T1. She is about to enter honeymoon - today she needed 0 humalog and just 1 unit of basal in the morning. What I observed is right after a meal she spikes up into 250-300 range. If she is not active (like in virtual school) it slowly goes down to 120-150 over...

I have a 6 yr old T1d, who is currently on 2 units a night of basal, and 0.5 of humalog fast acting per meal. I have read that humans use 0.5 to 1 unit/kg/day. Given my daughter is approx 20kg, that means she needs 10-20 units a day, and we are giving her 2-4 units. Does this mean her pancreas...

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...

I have a 6 yr old daughter diagnosed with type 1 3 weeks ago. We started with 6 units of basal at night. We went to 5, 4, and now to 3. Still, she is going hypo every night. Should we go down to 2? 1? 0? on the basal? The problem is she spikes a LOT after meals. So like she will go from 70 to...

My 6yr old daughter was recently diagnosed T1D, and something happened that I cannot fathom how to respond to. Today she said, "I don't like myself because I have diabetes". I don't know how to handle this. I hugged her and tried to keep a happy face but I was a million pieces inside. The other...

My 6 yr old daughter was recently diagnosed with Type 1. We have had no history of diabetes on both sides of the family. She had blood work done last September (2019) which was normal, and then she had an ER visit in feb for a stomach flu - they did urine and it was normal - they detected trace...
