Thanks guys, we have been on the JDRF and the DA websites so will check out the other one tonight.

Melanie we have been told to get a pump for bubs but they are up to $8000 and even with the subsidy we still have to come up with $5000 (means tested) so it means that we have to wait until we can save up for it.

We have a top notch diabetic team that we are working with at John Hunter Childrens Hospital in Newcastle and couldn't be happier with the treatment received so far. We have another clinic in August that we have to go to so will see how the kids have done at their 3 month blood test :? At the last one the Dr told me that by the time Meara is 21 she shouldn't have it any more. They think they are that close to having a cure (fingers crossed).

Mel - how are you going on the pump?? Is it a problem to keep having to move the canula every couple of days?? And how is it to sleep with?? Sorry for all the questions but the doctors can't actually answer those ones lol as they don't have to use one. I'm worried the bubs will try to pull hers out or it comes out when she is sleeping.

Thanks for taking time to answer
