So just before my son's 16th birthday on the 12th of December he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
Since then we have found out he is more hypo than hyper as his blood sugars dip more than rise.
He has been given the possibility to apply for funding for a pump but is unsure if he wants to or not.
He understands the benefits and downfalls but not sure what difference it would make to day to day life for him and doesn't know anyone on a pump to ask.
Thanks for any insights.
