Doubts about insulin bombs

Hello everyone, I am a mama of a teenager with diabetes from 16 months of age, we have worked very well but the puberty arrived and the chaos arrived.
About 8 daily glycems are made, it is clicking about 6 times quickly insulin plus the basal and even with all this amount of insulin that is a lot of controls are fatal.It weighs about 45kg and has approximately 80 units between Lantus and Rapida.
My question is: Improve the insulin bomb its quality of life, He is something reluctant to put it on.

Let's see I am in the process of putting it on.I am diabetic 29 years, since 14. The truth that I have always been very serious with diabetes but it is also true that I have always played with insulins to eat what I should not.It cost me years to decide to wear it, and I say it very seriously, for always carrying the hung apparatus and at your age I understand it perfectly.I lived the time of the piece of insulin roads, I also put me mix, so I had to carry two more vials the syringe and I did not like it, besides that it is not like now that you carry the ball and you can hide a little.And when I started with a girl I had a hard time saying it and if I said it, why?I don't know but it was so.Now I realize that I lost a lot of life in those years.The good would be that some diabetic you have in the area and carry it talk to the personally.I do not know any that has regretted putting it on it.And for the forums all who carry it have helped me to take the decision.Think that it is a gossip that will always carry and that you will have to explain a lot.Cheer up!!!!!

Hello!I am Diabetica 18 years ago ... I have 27 ... I lived the rebel era with diabetes ... and my consequences.

I have Medtronic insulin bomb .... Wear it for me is not an impediment, I voi to the beach, work, make efforts ... but the pump is like one more arm .... you have to integrate it with the body...
Know how to take it out for certain moments ...

I encourage you to try, and if your child doesn't like it, he has time to take it off

Hi there.... I have the bomb since January and good is good for the topic of punctures I am 26 yearsacodo and I let me go insulin all night .. I lift me with 400 impossible to go down and a ketosis of 4.0, a terrible scare and found fatal.Each person I still continue with many ups after meals for example... At the moment I recommend that you try later to decide whether or not..

Jcnegar, the bomb has avoided giving me many explanations: you take out an device that could be an i-pod, telephone, etc., give some buttons and everything is done.However, with the bolis and the needles, that did the song ... and it has never cared to see me the bomb, if it is more expensive than a rolex !!!Well proud that I am from her :-d

What I do tell you, Raulmallen is that to carry the bomb you have to be very convinced and feel like it.My quality of life has improved, but it is something very subjective: I say yes and another can say that no ... tell your child to pass through the forum, to see if in one way or another we can find some solution;-)

A question that may have been asked several times but do not locate any answer, to sleep how do you put the bomb?With a frog, with one click on the pants?In the leg in the twin?Can the little girl not be folded?

I hooked on the pants with the clamp that comes or the case that also has a hitch.The cable could be folded... But when sleeping many possibilities there are no .. you sleep and trust that I don't double because much more you can't do

The bomb is not the panacea either, but if it is click so much, that will be saved, but if it has already gone to puberty and is adult because they do not put lantus and novorapid, so only the lantus would be punctured once a day and the novorapid whenI was eating.

TB If you make contact sports, soccer bone, basketball, etc. You can't take the bomb for those games and you have to start doing strange things, remove and inject the amount needed for that stretch of an hour ....

In addition to what I see if one day you fail the pump it is very easy to have to acetone, in my case I have forgotten to put the lantus and I have not gone from having 250.

I would miss this time, anyway talk to your doctor, he would advise you the best for your child.

I have been with Lantus and Novorapid for 7 years and as I am quite disciplined I have always been more or less controlled but now I have decided to try the bomb especially because of the issue of having a little more flexibility.
What has helped me decide is the fact that if I don't like I can always return to the bowling.But if I have better control and/or higher quality of life, look, what I win.

Well, I don't know so yet.I live in the US so my endo and animas have to fight with medical insurance.It is seen that they already know that Casillas must be marked so that my insurance is approved and fortunately.We will see what it takes for the matter ...

I think I'm going for two months waiting for the bomb and keep waiting.On Monday of last week the endocrine told me that I would be ready but I'm still the same.
