    Holiday food is great but hard to treat for!

    During the holiday's it's not uncommon to be given gift of holiday treats which are quite often just too delicious to pass up. It is very hard to know how much to treat for it though. When you buy cookies or snacks in the store you can typically read the packaging to find out the serving size...

    Yeah getting them to listen can be a chore, the age doesn't help at all! My daughter has an Animas Pump and it works well. Our biggest problem is she's so small she only has two locations she can apply the inset to. We have to change it about every three or or four days because of scarring...

    Thank you Karen it's nice to know I'm not alone. I'm almost jealous of you as you can empathize with your child. I'm sorry you both have to deal with it but I'm sure he knows to listen to you right??
