I think some people use "SWAG" as an acronym for "scientific wild a$$ guess."
DD, age 11, 68 lbs., TDD 22u. I think that if she did not swim a couple of time a week, her TDD would be a bit higher.
Sorry, not seeing phone or texting under settings-general-restrictions. These screen shots are what I see on DD's iPhone 5C. About Restrictions...
OT-Can you spell out how you limited calls and texts? Are you referring to the Do Not Disturb feature or Filter Unknown Senders? I don't see...

We use pen fill cartridges to fill the Omnipod and keep the vial as a back up in case we need to do an injection. We do have to prime out more...
Nothing like that has happened to us and I tap on the syringe a bit sharply I guess. It's hard for me to imagine hitting it hard enough to break...

The summer following dx, just before she turned six, we sent DD to a couple of half-day camps. One was a theater camp run by a not-for-profit...
