Hi all.
Firstly, thank you for allowing us to join this group. It's really good to know there is such a strong support network out there.
Our little squidge was diagnosed in Feb and is only just 3. We are just about to self fund the Dexcom G6 but are struggling to find out how to bolus correctly. (because of this we haven't started it yet)
Up to now we have been finger pricking and using the accucheck which then provides the bolus needed based on carbs. As with all parents i suspect, we really hate having to keep stopping her playing or whatever to prick her (even though she handles it like a boss) and are looking at taking the plunge to the G6. I have seen that many people use the mysugr app but that is saying you need to be of a certain age or above? Is there anything anyone can suggest? It's really all very confusing.
any, and i really do mean ANY advice from anyone in a similar situation would be most welcome.
thanks in advance.
