[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2316622, member: 345386"] I wonder if your team/clinic could put you in touch with, say a group leader, who might be able to link you up with another family, with a child of similar age? Could make for a valuable friendship, and given time, maybe play-dates. Here a high proportion of kids go onto pumps, but those still need quite a bit of tending, and without understanding and having a real, good grasp of the basics in the most basic forms (testing, injecting, exercise etc.), then going to a pump can be unhelpful, because some day down the line one can fail, and without the foundations, that can go critical, and medically dangerous, very quickly.
