[QUOTE="ams162, post: 174444, member: 25644"] hi jen yes we are up and running albeit with saline for the first week but i can already see the advantage of not injecting and so can dylan which surprised me thought he would take longer to convert lol, dylan is managing beautifully and started doing boluses himself on the first day as its so easy once programmed to ur ratios. he has also done swimming with the pump disconnected and coped fine, sleeping has been no problem thanks to the nurse who gave him a lenny the lion teddy with a zip up back to hold the pump he cuddles it all night and loves him. I too have been looking at pouches to carry the pump in at the moment he has a clip which goes in his pocket but when the clothes have no pocket he is clipping it to the waistband of his trousers and complains it digs in abit so someone recommendid diabete-ezy which is a lycra belt that fits around the waist, it looks fab but is from australia altho they do deliver here so im def going to order one i dont want dylan in too much discomfort and because its not on his clothes going to the toilet wont be difficult either. The biggest challenge we have had so far is getting dressed lol which i want dylan to do for himself with no help from me because of p.e in school, hes getting there with it. now we just cant wait to get on the insulin on mon and be started for real altho the saline trial was a good idea as we are doing everything we would normally do and any questions im writing down to ask when we return :D anna marie :) [/QUOTE]
