It is hard to get out of the comfort zone! When Cassidy was in 3rd grade she went on the Animas pump. She was not happy about it at all. It is the best thing that we did though. By the way, on the ABC show they had said that we could find your blog posted on their website. It wasn't there! I called ABC Philly myself and told them it was never posted. I hope they have put it on by now. Lousy job ABC news!!! Once our girls get used to something, it becomes difficult for them to try something different. It is hard to get out of the comfort zone!

We've tried it in the past but Arden preferred her fingers. I'm going to talk to her about it again based on your advice. I didn't know about Philadelphia, thanks for the update... The Philly producer was supposed to email me before it ran and she didn't. Best, Yes, alternate site testing was the advice I was saying thank you for.

Your story was the last feature just before 10:00. I wasn't sure what "thanks for the great advice" meant? Will you try alternative site testing with Arden? Have you previously tried and she didn't like it? I am such an advocate for it, I have testing my fingers before and they hurt all day long. Now that there is something better- I am always pushing people to try it. Take care! It was on the 6ABC Philadelphia news yesterday (Saturday 03/12/11) on the 9:00am show.

You're to be commended! I was wondering in what market you saw the Health Watch piece and when? Thank you! Best to your family, Scott Tona,

Unfortunately I am a fellow parent of a diabetic child. My own daughter Cassidy, will be 14 years old next month. She was dignosed when she was 15 months old. She is on the Animas pump and doing as well as could be expected. The reason I am writing to you is that I noticed you checking your daughter's bg. My Cassidy just hated poking her fingers more than everything (diabetes related) put together. We now use the FreeStyle Lite meter. Please try her forearm and/or her calf as an alternative to the finger! That has drastically improved our life. I know you will know what I mean by that last comment! We want our children to not be in pain every day and anything that can ease that burden is a noticible improvement! Hi Scott,
