Hello
My 2 year son was diagnosed two weeks ago with type 1. We are in shock, devastated and trying to cope with the pump. The main problem is changing the cannula as he gets so upset and scared. It's traumatic for all of us as we have to hold him down and just do it. It has ruined bath time and now he 's scared when we change his nappy that we might touch it. It's so upsetting. Any advice or tips welcome. Does it hurt him? We've only done it twice so hope it will get better with time.
He's also developed a rash around the sticky bit has anybody else experienced this?
