[QUOTE="cbd5, post: 358299, member: 57674"] I'm type one, around your age and also on a pump. Have you been taught how to carbohydrate count? It is essential! Also, have a look at blood meters. Find one that is going to make you test. I have a Contour Link meter, which automatically tells my pump what my blood glucose is, allowing me to correct for this. Which pump do you have? I also have a accuchek meter, where the strips are inside the meter and the pricker is attached, it's good for when I go out so I don't have to carry loads. Most of all, you need to look up type one diabetes and the complications. Spend an hour staring at the amputated feet, the gangrene and the kidney failure. Diabetes is a killer :( I'm lucky that I've had amazing support and got it when I was young, so easily formed habits of blood checking. Feel free to email me if you need any help, any advise, or just need someone to talk to about diabetes and life. [/QUOTE]
