That's why we are still on shots. I know it will take some pushing anyway when we start on the pump, but for now, we aren't going to push it with her. I remember our CDE (you know who!) telling us that we should let her have some control even at her young age. Even just letting her pick which finger to prick or where to do the shot gives her a little bit of feeling some control (since she has lost so much). I think you did great by talking it over with her and letting her decide.<br /><br />I have heard that about the tylenol with cgm, but I wonder why??!NikDuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00339827779693006419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530737511455992395.post-14418740407435716262012-01-04T18:40:48.715-05:002012-01-04T18:40:48.715-05:00Life is all about choices and options!

It's sometimes hard to have all that knowledge.<br /><br />It is NOT great for sick days, especially when Tylenol is needed. <br /><br />Hopefully things work out for guys. taking a break from things can really help :D <br /><br />Take care and Happy New Year!Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05219957703310589818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530737511455992395.post-71298662413700623592012-01-04T13:41:07.414-05:002012-01-04T13:41:07.414-05:00We've been on a dex break for almost a month n...We've been on a dex break for almost a month now and truthfully, we're loving it. Elise didn't want to wear it anymore, and that combined with the itchiness it causes her, I agreed. Keep in mind we just started pumping and I was so scared to not have that steam of data at my fingertips! But we adjusted, and now the only time we miss it is on pump change days.<br /><br />I let her make the decision because it's HER body. And a CGM is not 100% needed. The funny thing is, just the other day she told me she wanted to start wearing it again. This was almost a week ago and we still haven't put it on.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030783893373288244noreply@blogger.com
