My little Oliver getting pump- eekkkk!

[Misst104]

Hi folks

Just to say my little one Oliver will be starting on his pump on Friday. We only really found out last week so it's all a bit overwhelming to be honest. He will be on the accu-chek combo with rapid d cannula. I am really excited about it as I hope we can settle his levels down a bit (yesterdays ranged from 1.7 to 20 odd) . He has been really poorly last week with acute tonsilitis. (2 hospital admissions!!) but seems loads better now so fingers crossed it will all go ahead.

I am very excited but also scared stiff - fear of the unknown I guess. We are starting on saline to see whether he will tolerate wearing it (he is 3 years old now) and then hopefully go onto insulin the following week *Gulp*

Wish us luck please!!

Plan is to go on saline on Friday and go on insulin on Tuesday next week. I am sick with nerves to be honest!

Hope everything is going well. My daughter started with hers on Wednesday and we start on insuling on Tuesday too. This follows a period of poor health as she is still recovering from glandular fever so we too are hopeful this will help. Good Luck, thinking of you.
