Hi @Luckiiiineko, Welcome to the forums from someone who has been on insulin for 51 years, 7 of them on an insulin pump.
From your 'perch' in UK( is it?) I would appear upside-down here in Australia. Please browse the low carb diet and hypo info sections etc, type I forums (Diabetes 'R Us - type 1 is popular), Pump forum and anything else that appeals..
I like to answer questions with my AUD 11 cents worth (the Govt here has a Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 10% hence the 11 cents to get 10 cents worth) and sometimes pose them.
Best Wishes in your journey and in being on site !!

I'm a newbie in comparison, just 6.5 years for me and was diagnosed quite late in life at 38. What are kit are you using ? Lots of friendly supportive folk about and no question too daft

Currently novorapid/levemir split, also I have an insulinx tester, it's pretty old but I'm going through the process of getting something newer at the moment!
