[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 174378, member: 17713"] Anna Marie How are the school with the pump? Harry's postings about his daughter and her teacher and school have sounded so fantastic, are yours prepared? Have they got any other children on pumps? Personally, I find it much better to be standing when I put my sets in, and generally if they are painful within 5 minutes I always change them now. I don't know how you will have been advised to put them in, whether sitting or standing, but just my experience only...I am better doing them standing up...I know initally the shock of putting these sets in are going to set off a few tears, but when setttled with a routine of doing them, if Dylan cries afterwards or says it is painful-then chances are the set will need to be changed. Good luck, and please keep us posted how you manage because from my side, I find it so interesting to read how parents and children cope with the pump, and think that your experiences are so invaluable to other future users....I really hope that you will find the pump controis Dylan better, but don't forget give it a good 6 months, and be prepared for a few hiccups along the way, but also better hba1c's and less extremes in BG's....
