Good morning!!!
It is not surprising that a mess seems like you, Marichu ... is that those insulins are crazy and the results so unpredictable ...
A pump is not placed to save punctures, which also ... what the bomb brings to our children is much more than that, exact and minimum insulin supply (there are bombs that can put insulin of 0.05 in 0.05 units), withPump is not active basal insulin (it supplies you the programmed for each moment), the insulin supply can be suspended to trace a hypoglycemia, different types of basal insulin can be programmed for certain situations (weekends with different activity to the daysLabor, holidays, days in which they are sick whose requirement TB is different from the usual, etc.).It can be programmed temporarily basal insulin, that in children it is so used, it is not the same as they are sleeping a 3 -hour nap to go to the park to run those 3 ... and what to do then with the insulin that is placed???Hydrates atiborrale in the last case ...
And dual or square bolus (this usually takes time to use, at least it was my case, but now, blessed are:-/), which are used precisely for certain types of meals.It is not the same, s slow, than fast, than if they take more fat, more protein, etc.I do not know the same to put your child who eats slow 1 insulin unit and that's it, to say that the same unit puts it for 1 hour, the peak of action will be later avoiding hypoglycemia ...
And the corrections, as they have already mentioned .... It is not the same to be in 200 and not correct to save you a puncture, to correct with the pump and arrive with a more acceptable figure.
Taking it seems that it is not a problem, nor do they lose it, nor do they fall, nor bother them, to the experiences that the parents of the forum tell us ... Ah, as anecdote I will put that of Claudia, 3 years, to thePoor the pump fell to the water when he was pis (the bomb did not flinch): D ... My daughter has been with her for 5 years.5 years of parks, pools, excursions, school, so far some small inconveniences that have been solved without major problem ...
I have to confess that I had the first year and a half with those pre -chefy insulins so badly, even the few months that we use Lantus, that the bomb radically changed our lives ... I know that sometimes it seems that life was going to me in itIts benefits, an exaggerated commitment to try to see that it is so far the best treatment I know, but I know what it is to have a child with bad control, I know what serious hypoglycemis, fear and I know that with the bomb everythingThat has improved ... Of course everyone is free to use what suits and suits him ... I will continue to bet on this treatment.;)
Sorry for the bump.
Kisses.
