He is hopefully about to go on a pump if the PCT grant approval. I am trying to start the carb counting and get used to it before he goes on the pump. He is a strapping 16 year old who plays badminton to a high level. He has had three scary hypos in the eight years he has been diagnosed. The last of these was in Feb half term and since then he has been running himself high as he is petrified of going thru' that again. He lost his sight for about 6 hours!!  Very very scary for all concerend.Anyway I would appreciate any help with this carb counting anyone can offer. He is really keen to go on the pump and knows that it is he who will have to learn to carb count really as he's almost an adult. I've started a spreadsheet of blood sugar level before food, what he eats, what the total carb is for that food. I can't yet change his insulin as I don't know what ratio of insulin to carbs he can have, is that right?also any help/ advice to playing sport whilst on apump would be appreciated?Thanks.Tricia.Trixy   Posts: 1Joined: Sun Nov 09, 2008 10:53 am Private message</blockquote>
