So we're over a year into our diabetes journey and our eldest has made the very big decision to switch from MDI (Multiple Daily Injections) for a pump on a closed loop system.
So yesterday we went into hospital to go through loading a pod with insulin and fitting it, connecting it all up and working out the levels everything needs to be (this is after a visit to hospital last week to change the sensors over to a different type - dexicom).
So as I type this, the pump is upstairs on my daughters leg slowly clicking insulin in at different interval. We're watching her CGM as her blood glucose find their levels in this new system.
Wish her luck! I'll keep you posted on how it goes.
Good Luck to your Eldest Daughter - she copes so well, tell her I reckon she's pretty amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt's always a worry when things change, I hope your daughter settles quickly, have a good Easter weekend.
ReplyDeleteGood luck young lady! Impressed by her resilience and competence at such a young age. She is admirable.
ReplyDeleteI hope it goes well and gives all of you peace of mind.
ReplyDeletein th long run, i bet she will like this better.
ReplyDeleteWishing your daughter all success with the pump. Hopefully the more steady and responsive insulin will help reduce the risks of side effects of too high or low blood glucose.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to your daughter, Kev. I have known several people with pumps and they all have had good experiences.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone - so far it's been a few days and everything has been amazing!
