re: Insulin Pump for teen
Posted by WDE24 on 7/9/25 at 7:53 am
I keep up with it and have read a lot about it. I’m not T1D, but my 13 year old son is (dx at 9). I am really hopeful that this or something similar will be a break through that drastically changes the daily grind of dealing with T1 for his entire life.
He handles it well and doesn’t let it slow him down, but I know it gets old for him

Lot’s of good things going on in the research phase. The biggest downside I’m aware of so far is the immunosuppressants that are required, but still an exciting step forward.

quote:So taking glp1 that allows or aids one to eat better bypasses the effort and discipline you want them to have to do it without the aid. However, you support shame and humiliation as an acceptable aid, is that correct?
Bypassing effort and discipline is root issue IMO.

People supplement with peptides all of the time. What are you talking about? Why is a glp-1 peptide so morally different from a creatine supplement in your view?

quote:It’s constantly changing as he grows and, as you know, t1d isn’t a consistent thing to manage. However, after a couple of weeks of practice, we had a pretty manageable plan.
How long did it take to learn how to handle it during games and practice?
It takes the pod a few weeks/pods to learn his insulin needs and then it does a decent job of adjusting the Basil levels. We just back off a little on the bolus for anything he eats pre game/practice. There is a lot of trial and error and we still miss the mark occasionally, but never had any serious incidents. His athletic bags are stuffed with full sugar and zero sugar Gatorade’s as well as some hard candy. We use activity mode, but never really shut it off completely.
For awhile my wife or I attended every practice or game to make sure he was good. We are now comfortable letting him self manage during practices and his coaches are ok with it as well. He always has the basquimi nasal spray and coaches are aware how to use it if needed. We’ve never had a situation where we even got close to needing it, yet (knocks on wood).
ETA: as you are aware, activity usually caused a drop in blood sugar, but sometimes in intense games or situations, we will notice adrenaline will cause his BG to rise

Just saw this. I have an active 13 year old t1d (baseball, basketball and football) . He’s done well with the Omni pod. Been using it for 4 years now. They get knocked off or loose sometimes, but it’s never been a big deal.
quote:It’s a good idea to build up a stash. Omnipod is pretty good about replacing pods that fail or fall off at no cost.
Trying to hoard up as many pods as we can get to have as a stash in case these things fall off or we screw them up. Going to be an entirely new deal to learn but he

Doesn’t sound like this should have involved police. Just sounds like a trashy family.

Other than pulling through it’s the safest way to park and in many parking lots is the only way I can get into a spot between two other vehicles with the terrible turn radius on my truck.

Auburn will have to shoot way better than we have from 3 and from the line to have a chance.
