Complications are delayed with good control!!! Also exercise will help you get that control. If you do go and exercise, Be sure that you have something that can get you out of a low and physical work will do that.
Having a pump is good but it can be annoying. How many tests that you do in a day as micromanaging is done by type 1's is very common.
I am a very brittle diabetic, always have been. My last a1c was down to 10 I think. Yes I know I need to do better I am a spoiled brat. I have always made diabetes my enemy therefore my diabetes runs me not the other way around.

I did try the exercise but I have drop foot from a hip surgery gone bad and in the course of walking I guess I stretched or shrunk the muscle from my heal to my arch and then I couldn't walk for about two weeks, yes I know this is just an excuse and I really need to find different exercise.

God has been good to me it is myself who keeps trying to kill me. I figure as long as I don't give up I am not out of the race though, but you are probably right I bet the cgm will be better for me. Thanks for the input April
