This is always difficult and pumping is not always for everyone.  If a child
doesn't want it they may not do well on the pump.  Doing a saline run with
the pump; talking with current pump users, and reading some books can
help...or allow her an appointment with her diabetes educator alone to
discuss fears and why she doesn't want the pump.....but remember it is her
diabetes and giving her some "say" in its treatment will go a long way!
 

We are here to help...

You can ask your neighbor what he uses to keep his lawn so green, or ask a friend for her famous zucchini bread recipe... But who do you ask those day-to-day questions about life with diabetes? Your medical team is the place to start, but we've gathered a few other experts here to help you out as well. Check out the latest questions parents are asking, and pose your own, too!
