I've had a Medtronics pump for 5 years now but unlike Kevon, I put the infusion sites in my stomach a couple of inches from my belly button. Sometimes they do work themselves off but I have had them stick so good that it felt like it took 5 layers of skin with it when I had to change it out.

If the boy's sugars drop too low one of the best things to give him would be a couple of Jolly Rancher hard candies. They usually bring them right back up and taste a lot better than those glucose packs.
