Just kidding. It was rough, and I developed T1 at the tail-end of puberty. Basically, your sugars are literally all over the place, and control is not easy. Though, looking back and reflecting, I can now say 99% of my problem was I *just* didn't want to test at all. The other 1% was lack of education...I know so much more today about the importance of testing, what to do based on the results, etc. Back in the early 90's, we were still in the Dark Ages, as far as I am concerned. And my care team was terrible, though they tried hard.
Childrenwithdiabetes once recommended that teens try Metformin as well to control liver dumps and associated spikes. You may want to consider that, though I am not one to push more meds.
