Poll-How much does your child like their pump?

[liasmommy2000]

If they have one of course lol. Trying to do a poll here, I hope it works!

ETA-Obviously if you're the one with the pump, vote for yourself lol.

[lotsoftots]

Samantha LOVES it she has only been pumping for almost a month, so far so good :D

[miss_behave]

You'd have to pry it out of my cold dead fingers :D

[thebestnest5]

I am asking her right now...

Livia responded, "I would never be able to explain in words how much I like it!" "I like it a lot!"


***Note that this is from the child who wanted to stay on shots because she told me that the shots didn't bother her all that much and she didn't want to have the tubing and the pump on her all the time!********************

[Charmed7]

I didn't vote for pry it from hands, but the next one down b/c my son has not been using it properly, and I feel if he loved it so much, he wouldn't jeopordize him using it. But he definately doesn't want to go back to shots.

Lia loves hers. She hated when it died a month or so ago and we had to do shots while waiting for the new one to arrive. Or like last week her site fell out at school during lunch (of course) so they had to give her a shot while they waited for me to get there (I work an hour away).

[WestinsMom]

The only thing Westin "LOVES" is his ps3 or xbox360 so he picked "Really Likes"

[Jacob'sDad]

I can't really answer that. It's like asking how much Jacob likes his right arm. It's just a part of him and he accepts it. I don't think he really thinks about it one way or the other.

LOL, I just asked Chell. She responded the same way "I like it a lot"

Also same as you stated with your *** notes, Chell was the same way.

[Treysmom]

I selected the first one. Trey did well on shots, he never faught them once the first few days passed after dx. I hated shots......I knew my mom would love the pump once getting over the fear, she never got over the fear of giving a shot. She loves the pump to!!! We all do! :)

[wendyc]

Abby loves "Diamond" but is pretty easy going when it comes to shots. Now, if I asked her if she wants to go back, I get a definite NO Way!

[clb1968]

ditto:p I love my pump.

[Kaylee's Mommy]

Kaylee loves her pump, she tells me all the time.. on a bad day, with lots lows, she hates her pump, and me, dad, and Jaylin too LOL.. but for the most part, she loves it and wouldn't go back to shots for anything... she HATED it when we had to do go to lantus for a few days because the pump was being replaced..

[Ellen]

I can't say he loves his pump because he doesn't love having diabetes. However, he is very pleased with pumping when compared to MDI. He hates taking shots.

[Seans Mom]

Sean tells me he loves his pump. And yeah he was one of the kids saying "I actually love shots" before the pump start, because he was very scared of the pump hurting more. He doesn't love site changes though, even though most of the time he tells me " that didn't hurt" ;)

[bgallini]

Alex never hated shots but the pump gives him so much more flexibility. So I'd say he loves it.

[sarahconnormom]

Connor loves his pump. He calls it 'SuperPump' because it took the shots away.

[hawkeyegirl]

We are going on the pump Monday, so it is such a relief to see how many kids love their pumps. Jack is now claiming that he likes his shots (funny how he yells and runs from us, then), because he is scared about the pump. I hope he likes it as well as the other kids on here.

[Judy&Alli]

Alli loves it too!!!!!

[momtojess]

Jess loves her.. I gave her the choice to take it off in the evening/nighttime since we are now using lantus also. At first she would take it off, but now she rarely wants to. She doesnt know life without her pump.

[vettechmomof2]

my daughter said really loves it.
she never wants to lose her pump except when a cure is found but maybe not even. this is from my daughter.

[twodoor2]

Elizabeth likes taking off her pump, especially at night, since we're on Lantus. However, I think she loves her pump pouch (it's pink with butterflies) more than the actual pump, so that helps to keep it on her.

[Jensmami]

Jenny loves her pump so much, that she said she going to marry it/her;):D
