Ask for diluted insulin. We've used it for the past 9 months and it works great. Our son was only on .5 and then went to nothing for Lantus. He...
This is where a CGM comes in handy. The meter reading was probably right, but he was probably dropping fast from the playing. If he was dropping...
We've not tried anything else, but absolutely LOVE the OmniPod!! I actually saw a tubed pump on a kiddo about my son's age and I am SO glad we...
We never get up unless the CGM alarms us. Last night I was up too often with highs. Ugh!
Yes, they do seem more stubborn at night! If I notice it's a pattern (after 3 days in a row, or 4 out of 7 days) then I'll make a basal...
Watching YouTube videos really helped. You could see it live as to how to change the pumps out and what needed to be done. Helped us...

We enter in the AM before breakfast and the PM before dinner. Seems to be just right as far as the 12 hrs goes and also when most likely to have...
If you want, tell them that's what you want. We learned early on to tell what we wanted rather than ask. Worked very well for us, and I think it...
Our son is almost 4 (in March) and has been potty trained probably since May I'd say. He still wears diapers at night, and probably 4-5 out of 7...
