Pacifiers and Insulin

My son Cole was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when he was 13 months old.  I always knew the question would come, but it had been over 4 years (he is 5 now) and it had not been asked.  I hoped that maybe since he has known nothing but diabetes, maybe he wouldn't ask, but I was wrong.    For over 4 years, Cole has known nothing but injections, pump site changes,  Dexcom  sensor changes, finger pokes, eating when he was not hungry because of a low, wanting to eat when he couldn't because he was too high.  This has been his life.  This has been our life.  Cole is our first and only child.  We had no idea that something was really wrong with him.  When he started eating solid foods, he ate more than my 6 years old nephew at the time.   We thought he was just a great eater.  He also drank a ton of water, but to us we were happy that he drank so well.  He soaked through diapers, but we assumed that was because of all the water he drank.  We had no idea something else was going o
