Response to Mike (there was no respond button) Mike, I have been a diabetic for 25 years on the pump for 2 1/2. I had the main opposite problem, no matter what I did I always woke up high. I love my pump, I find it offers a lot more freedom because of the ability to vary basal rates during the day. Sounds like you need a good pump educator to help you with that. Take the time to find one, your doctor should point you in the right direction. You did not mention what type of pump you use, but my minimed can download all my readings, glucose tests and settings to my computer via a wireless USB. You can run all kinds of reports, and for my money is a lot easier than keeping a manual log. Contact your pump manufactuer and ask what they offer. Don't give up on the pump!

For anyone considering a pump...all I can say is "GO FOR IT". I was on shots for 29 years & was hesitant to pump. But after 4 years of debating I finally switched over & I now wish I wouldn't have waitied so long.its been almost 3 years now & being "attatched" is no big deal.its easy to adjust & live again

Jay-jay, as you’re a kid you have a far greater chance of being cured from diabetes than someone like me who is 53 years old. Managing your disease through pump therapy of staying healthy longer in anticipation of that future cure. In my case moving to a pump over 5 years ago after being a type-1 diabetic for 15 years had really positive effects in stabilizing my blood sugar. After gaining better control of my diabetes I felt much better and was able to do more. As a kid you’ll master programming the pump much faster than most diabetics and I hope will realize the positive results very soon.

My bloods have been terrible ever since I was diagnosed even with all the effort I put in. I'm more of a watering can than myself! I went yesterday to look at a pump and tried out the needle. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm now thinking seriously of going on 1. Any advise or a magic wand greatfully accepted!
