[QUOTE="Natt, post: 1704597, member: 393363"] Hi our son who is 11 wad diagnosed last March.Soon after we got him a libre.In the beginning he was happy with it, not once did it come off in scholl or even in thr pool practice.Then one time we have accidentally hit the bllod vessel and it was very painful and bleeding.after waiting for a few hours we had to take it off which was very unpleasant and hurtful. ..After that during the summer 2 of the libres broke down from swimming in the sea even though we protected it with tegaderm.And now he just won't wear it again inspite of our efforts to persuade him that accidents happen but will not happen all the time. We as parents really liked it even though it can show occasionally lower numbers but then it should always be checked with finger pricking(goes for high numbers as well).. I guess it takes time for them to accept that they have something on their bodies,and that sometimes it can break, it's a process but I think that eventually they will get along with it. My son has a friend in school also type 1 who is wearing libre so maybe it may also help in reassuring him to try it again. Best of luck Natt [/QUOTE]
