[QUOTE="MattiesMum, post: 437494, member: 75174"] My 7 yr old son has had a pump for 18 months now. We really like it and it makes so much easier as he can eat what he wants when he wants. This has been a godsend as he has always been a picky eater. tea times used to be very stressful when we were using insulin injections. :O( My matthew is fine wearing the pump . He tends to have the cannula for the infusion set in his bottom . he says that's where it's most comfortable and it is quite discreet here.He also sometimes has it in his thigh or his belly. He has never been keen on the cannula change so it wasn't long before i started getting anaesthetic cream on prescription for this. We use Emla cream which is applied and left for an hr to work with a Tegaderm dressing over the top. This makes the set change much easier for matthew but the hr wait can be a bit of a pain if I'm changing set because bs has gone high. I have been thinking of trying the anaesthetic spray which works instantly. Could this be something your daughter can try. I'm sure the nurse will let you have some of the cannula equipment and you could arrange a prescription or even buy the cream and dressings to try as well. [/QUOTE]
