[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 658777, member: 17713"] Incidentally with both your sons- are they treated differently at school? Do they have to inject elsewhere? Are their friends being understanding or possibly taking the mickey or bullying your sons because they are "different". That can also have an impact on learning at school and behaviour. You only have to be "different" to find that your friends react differently to you... It may be that you can speak to your sons' welfare people / teacher at school with your concerns. I personally, if it was my son would ask how his friends feel about him injecting etc.. And I would be going to speak privately to a person at the school. You will be also exhausted from nightly checks and the differences it makes to your lives too. It maybe longer term that your children and yourselves may wish to consider a pump with a remote control. Then your children don't feel different about having to get injections out everytime, but then they have to keep the pump attached to them all the time. So swings and roundabouts. The lady I mentione above had her daughter given a pump at 8 years old. Many sleepless nights, but daughter does like the pump in preference to injections. [/QUOTE]
