[QUOTE="Blondie153, post: 346518, member: 49649"] Hi thank you for your support and help. I think diabetes must be like this every step of the way. Just when you get the hang of the machine you change to a new one and then thrown into the mix what works one day for diabetes doesn't the next. She was only diagnosed the last week of Aug so we still have our L plates up! Looking forward to that time Gayle that you are talking about when it all becomes second nature. My daughter is doing really well with the injections so I am hoping that resiting the pump will become easier with time. We didn't have to fight more like persuade. The pump situation was good at the hospital but it seems to be whether they can support it with staff. They also like to have children of a similar age starting it together so that they have a support network which makes sense. I had to do 2 courses one at night and one online before they would consider her. They have also offered to let me try the pump for a few days to feel what she will feel. I am not as enthusiastic about this I know it will be painful!!! I hope it will make a difference with things like low gi foods which seem to be her biggest stumbling block as the insulin she needs to counteract acts too quickly and we end up with hypos. They are not mad keen on splitting the injections, so I hope this will help. She has also started losing weight because she is starting to take food out of her bowl as she knows it will bring on a hypo. not a great situation. Anyone else been there? She is only 8 so I am really proud that she is doing this well. M [/QUOTE]
