Type 1 and need advice

[Daniel33]

Hello everyone I am a newly diagnosed type1 last August.I've tried every from tablets mixed insulin I am starting on MDI s tomorrow. I'm extremely sensitive to insulin I've been thinking off a pump or would a cgm monitor be better due to my job. I am scaffolder so it's quite demanding please any advise would be much appreciated thanks

It's not usually a pump or a monitor. It's a pump AND a monitor. I would think that a pump would be excellent for you because you have a very physical job, and the pump allows you to turn off or turn down your insulin flow, and allows you to deliver insulin in tiny quantities. You are probably very insulin sensitive because of all the physical activity you do (but that's a very good thing, not a bad one, in the long term).
