It's good to know there are families out there who are dealing with this smoothly. I was at my grandson's house yesterday and learned to do the testing and the injection giving (used saline) on myself. He told me how to do it each step of the way. Great idea about the rocket! I'll let his mom and dad know about it right away! Take care! Suzanne Thanks, Melissa, for the warm welcome. It’s good to know there are

I for one really enjoy seeing family members get involved. We live five hours away from family so they only see our son about twice a year, and only 2 people have even tried to learn how to help. In case you have not seen my other posts, my son was diagnosed 2 years ago, just after he turned 6. He also checks himself. He used to do his shots, but now he will only get them ready, not give them to himself. They seems to go through spurts of how much they want to do. If your kids haven't gotten one already, have them ask about a 'rocket'. You put the syringe in it, and then simply push the button on the side and then the plunger. It helps with those who have a problem with actually inserting the needle, and my son won't take his shots without it! There are losts of helpful people here, so please post anytime about anything! I am also working on a link page, just a little short on time right now. :D Melissa Welcome to the list! I for one really enjoy seeing family members get
