Hi again! Jac has been diagnosed since last June at aged 2. I just feel that now I would really like to help him get better levels and a little more stable. I'm thinking that the pump mimics a pancreas better than injections are able to in that it puts in insulin every 3 minutes in tiny amounts rather than the few injections a day. I'm hoping it will work well but we will have to wait and see how it goes! I could let you know how he deals with it if you would be interested.
Jac does go to play school for 2 hours 3 times a week. Initially they were not keen on having him, but now he has been there 6 months they seem to be a bit happier with him. They check his finger half way through and ring me with the result, and I either advise what food to give him, or go to him if he needs insulin. He is due to start proper per school in September and this seems to be more of an issue for the school. Again they are very reluctant to commit to any responsibility for him with is very frustrating for us. We are in the process of trying to get one to one care for him at school to help with his medical needs, but I'd that's not successful then i will just have to keep fighting for him so that he gets the care and education he deserves! The worry that you have of them not looking after our children is very true for me as well!
Hope some of that helps!
Emma
