Need help on choosing a pump

Angie — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 22:06:58 GMT

My daughter was diagnosed at 14 mos old and is now 3. I am not educated on pumps as we have been using pens. Our dr suggested; Omnipod, Medtronic and Animas. She thought that maybe the Medtronic or Animas would be best as they have tubing. Please share with me your opnions and experiences.

Thanks

Angie

New to Juvenation...and T1

Hi. This is the first time I've posted. My daughter was diagnosed on April 16th, 3 days after she turned 11 months old. After 5 days in the hospital (two in the PICU and 3 in a regular room) we brought her home again with a fresh, new, pink Minimed pump. She is such a tough little girl, I honestly think it's harder on the rest of us right now than it is on her. I haven't been ready to write anything before now, but I seem to be coming out of the anger phase and more into acceptance. Don't get me wrong, I HATE that she has this, but she does, so now we cope. The most annoying thing people say to me right now (besides the one lady that asked me if I ate a lot of sugar when I was pregnant with her) is how great it is that she was diagnosed so young. "So she'll never know any different." Really? She'll never notice that her older sister doesn't have to check her BG or count carbs. Or that other kids can go on sleepovers and play without worrying about lows. It annoys me.

The hardest part for me right now is night time. I live in constant fear of lows at night and me not knowing. How do people deal with this? Any help with that part would be appreciated.

Thanks for listening!

My son, Brandan, was diagnosed in July 2007. He was 12 months, 2 weeks old. He is 4 years old now (will be 5 in June) and has been using an insulin pump since May 2010. He knows and understands a lot about his diabetes and every milestone he reaches in regards to his d-care makes me bitterly proud.

Monogenic Diabetes

Hi all,

I just want everyone to be informed about monogenic diabetes, which is rare, but can be easily mistaken for type 1. It is MUCH easier to live with than type 1, so if you or your child was diagnosed with type 1 as an infant, it's well worth looking into.
