Thanks for the advice. I have been trying to get her to talk to other type 1s. She’s not up for it at the moment but I’ll keep encouraging her as know it will help

Thank you all for your advice. Type 1 is certainly very hard to manage. It’s a continuous learning curve! It’s nice to hear advice from others that have this too and to know all this is normal. I’ve passed your advice to my daughter and hopefully she gets her confidence back. I do think a pump...
