[QUOTE="ginx, post: 198143, member: 29344"] Hi, I see I'm replying a year after the last comment. My daughter was diagnosed Sept 2010 age 8. In March we got a pump. We had been controlling quite well with injections and now, three months with the pump, we don't seem to be controlling as well. But there's no doubt it is easier. No more injections! But I think it's important to remember with a pump, the canula has to be changed every two to three days and that was painful ... until we discovered Emla (numbing cream) and it's fine now. My daughter can eat anything and give herself insulin very discreetly as she eats. We were told she can now eat "anything" but I'm ruling out chewy sweets and lollies. She is much, much happier. I just feel slightly disillusioned about her levels. On the whole though, I'd definitely recommend one ... good luck (if you haven't already got one!) We;re wondering now if diabetes can make girls enter puberty earlier than expected ??? [/QUOTE]
