Teenage years, and type 1 diabetes... says it all basically, and i'm very happy i got the big D just before i turned 19 and not earlier It's bad enough around THAT time of the month

I'd suggest you throw the NPH which is oldtime peaky **** to speak the truth... I've never tried it, just because i've heard so much bad about it Try Levemir or Lantus instead! They're flat long acting insulins that keeps bloodsugar more stable since they don't really have a noticeable peak. Lantus is known though, to maybe cause some weightgain- though i didn't really notice any... while Levemir doesn't have that problem, and doesn't sting like Lantus when injecting it

Don't be afraid to switch over to 4+ injections per day. Basically, more injections per day means more control. And pump really isn't as bad as one think at first I've tried it, and it doesn't hurt (or well, most times it doesn't hurt) to insert the infusionset, and having the tubing hanging around 24/7 doesn't take long to get used to Gives very good control and a lot of freedom too once you've figured out the basalrates. I'm on MDI now though... I prefer MDI... I've had some infusionsets fail me with the pump... And for some reason, i feel MDI is more fun People's faces when injecting in public... PRICELESS


Also, find yourself a doctor you feel comfortable with. Having a good Diabetes Team is very important!
