hi, this is my first post
So basically 2 months ago my four year old son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes , and it's so hard to come to term with for me more than him. As a mother I feel devestated that I have to inject him as he hates needles and I hate hurting him , he's used to more now but he's always asking why it's happened to him suddenly.
I want him to have the best treatment so this situation isn't as bad, like what's the best blood glucose monitor as it the least painful , and what's better injections or pump, I mentioned the pump to his nurse and she didn't seem keen , I feel as they just want me to get along with the routine I've made but I don't want my son to endure 4 injections daily for the rest of his life, which scares me.
Is there anybody that has a child and how are they coping and what's best pump or injections
