My son just turned six and has been on the pump for the last 2 1/2 years. He continues to struggle with changing his pump site. He has a ton of anxiety and sometimes a site change can last 45 minutes. As soon as it is done he is playing and smiling 20 seconds later. Any suggestions on how to make site changes easier?

Have you considered changing it while he's asleep? That sometimes works well. Also, when he gets a little older, send him to a diabetes camp. He'll see all the other kids changing out their sets without much to-do, and he'll get more comfortable with it in a hurry!
