My ds was dx at 18 months. He is now 2.5 yr old. He's been on an insulin pump for a little over a week now. Just wanted to introduce myself and see if there were any other parents of diabetic children.
I was dxed right after my 4th birthday
How old are you now? I'm just wondering what my son must think. We just put him on the pump too, I was worried if it was the right thing to do since he is too small to have any input on the decision but I think he's much happier. He is adjusting well to it.
I am almost 16 now. I have been on different pumps for 6 1/2 years. They are much better than NPH, which was what I used to use.
Hello, I was dx at 13 months old. I'm now 24 and very healthy.
I'm glad to hear you are both happy and healthy. I love the pump. We are still adjusting basal rates but it's much better than the four shots a day he was getting.
Just want to say that all of you are an inspiration to me. Whenever I get frustrated with counting and charting and remembering and just plain having diabetes I'll think of how well you are all handling it. Thank you for posting!
