I want to get my daughter on the (A) pump. The drs. want to wait until at least a year from diagnosis, they gave varying reasons for this; everything from "lazy" parents to young children having difficulty with them.
A business associate of mine was diag. back in the 70’s and kept going from doctor to doctor until he got a pump and suggested we do the same….???
I should add that for a 6 yr. old little girl she has handled this VERY WELL! Does her own sticks as well as injections, supervised of course. She uses Lantus and Humalog, in the pen form.
She’s on 8 Lantus in the pm and humalog will vary from day to day.
Anyone have any input, help, suggestions, complaints or other info that I could use to get her on the pump or give me reasons why she DOES NOT need the pump @ this time!
Thanks all, great forum here!
