Hi. My DS is just 6 and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 3. He is on Omnipod pump and we have now just been granted funding for a Dexcom G4 but haven't got it yet. Has anyone out there got a young child with type 1 with a CGM? At the moment we do 24 finger pricks a day. His HbA1c is very good but he hypos often. Even tonight me and DP said we just can't believe how unpredictable his BGs are. A 2.6 at 10pm and having to prop him up in bed to feed him Glucotabs. I would so love to talk to anyone who has a child with type 1 as other people just really can't believe how hard it is to manage.
