[QUOTE="AngelaAllison, post: 119739, member: 24918"] Hi, We have an 8 year old daughter with Type 1 and managed to get a pump!!! It is the best thing that has ever happened for our family 7 in total. Two of the girls also have coeliacs disease. It has taken a good 6 months to understand it fully. We bought mini weighing scales to take out with us. Using the care link helps you understand your levels over time better.We use the capture event for highs and lows in between readings. If you use the bayer meter that does it all. (Claudia doesn't like it). I agree beware of catching the pump. However Claudia never even thinks about it now, she was scared at first, but she is very clever at tooking all wires away. You may find you will need to use square/dual bolus when eating high carb food especially at night. If you like the odd treat Mark's and Spencers are great as they tell you how many carbs are in each sweet. For anyone out there with coeliacs there range is great and no more expensive than the other supermarkets, they will also print you a list of gluten free food or any other food information you require. Wish us look as we are asking for a glucose senor!! Has anyone got one? Angela [/QUOTE]
