[QUOTE="Colin L, post: 362388, member: 64232"] Hi Blondie, That's absolutely fantastic news! Our 10 yr old went on a pump just before Christmas and it's been absolutely fantastic. He uses the Animas Vibe, and we had lots of training and whilst it seems an awful lot to take in initially, it's soon second nature and gives your child so much freedom, and means that they don't have to have several injections per day. His BS levels have stabilised significantly from a range of 2 - 29 on a daily basis to a more reasonable 4 to 12, and whilst he still has the occassional low, it is far more likely that you'll understand the reason, as there may still be insulin in their body that is working through, which the pump predicts also, meaning that you don't over-prescribe in most cases! Our son is also alot happier going out for dinner and playing sport, as he doesn't have to worry about getting his injections out and just presses a few buttons on his pump. His school friends also think it's seriously cool!!!! Anyway, good luck, and if you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask - after all we're pro's after being on it for 3 months :wink: [/QUOTE]
