Anything to make T1D better :)<br /><br />The girls are a bit older now and in fact, oldest is 14! They have come a long ways in inserting sites. Still not a favorite, but more doable. They have not inserted a CGM though. That is on a shorter list of goals. If you have words of wisdom, they would love to hear it.<br /><br />The tape is called IV3000 and we choose the version with the center already cut out to go right over the infusion site. It is great stuff. I believe that it is available in the UK or perhaps you could order it. I do not think a script is needed. <br /><br />Thanks again for your wisdom!

You win some and you lose some. Maybe third will be a charm?Naturally Sweet Sistershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16430311447273580229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863629804514411236.post-37994543053633137582013-02-04T13:21:22.433-05:002013-02-04T13:21:22.433-05:00Love hearing this and seeing the pride and excitem...Love hearing this and seeing the pride and excitement in those beautiful smiles!

Bittersweet but so encouraging in watching them grow stronger. xxoo<br />Naturally Sweet Sistershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16430311447273580229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863629804514411236.post-38817536298896168302013-02-03T09:21:30.964-05:002013-02-03T09:21:30.964-05:00What a beautiful story!
