[QUOTE="Sydneysider, post: 1489106, member: 408911"] Sorry to hear you are having such a difficult time. I feel your pain - my 11yo son was diagnosed in April and it is such a huge life adjustment. I totally understand the anxiety and checking, I'm sure I'd be the same. It does sound like professional help from someone very experienced in this area would be the best bet. My son has gone on the pump, just last week, and really loves it. No needles and back to normal flexible eating. If your boy would consent to just trial it for a bit, if that was possible, he might find it so much easier. It also helps a lot to keep the BGs lower and more stable which is reassuring for them. He will start on the CGM soon but in the meantime has been using the Freestyle Libre so he doesn't have to do so many fingerpricks - that was actually the most intrusive thing. Sending you luck and best wishes, it is not an easy thing and we all work so hard for our kids and do the best we can. xxxx [/QUOTE]
