Hi Shirley.

There are lots of parents using pumps on the UK CWD mailing list support forum if you want to ask them questions. Lots of very young children using pumps.

You can find more info about joining the mailing list here http://www.childrenwithdiabetesuk.org/ also consider watching the DiabetLive event on the web on November 13 when people will be able to ask questions about pump therapy.

A lot depends on the attitude of your clinic. Do they have other kids on pumps?
