| When I was in elementary school (5th grade) I had a friend that was diagnosed type 1 with a BG reading in the 1100s I believe. Also in the 8th grade I spent my spring break in the hospital running 1000+ when I first went in. I had developed bronchitis that week and all the medicine I was taking drove my sugars up and caused massive insulin resistance.
As for getting a pump on the first day. I find that extremely hard to believe as it takes about a month to even get approved for one. So unless they happen to pay out of pocket for that pump, I find it extremely hard.
