At this time my son has only expressed a 'slight' interest, he likes the thought that he might be mostly free of injections, and that his bg would be better controlled. He's only 13, and coming up to puberty, which means that his bg can be all over the place. At the moment, although we carb count very carefully, sometimes his bg goes right up for no reason at all, and other times he will hypo for no reason either. We do try and factor in exercise but that can be difficult in itself with a youngster. He's on Novorapid and Levemir, 4 injections a day with an extra one sometimes if he wants a big supper. I would fight his corner and insist if I thought he was seriously interested in a pump, and of course that might be the case in the near future. His last A1c was 7.5, which pleased the diabetes team, but this doesn't reflect the highs he experiences.</p></blockquote><p></p>
