Seems that teens and younger pump users aren't taking their disease (or their pump) seriously. No surprise with all the changes going on with that age group. Parents really need to stay on top of things and kids get very resistant to that intrusion. Probably right to withhold (or remove) pumps from those kids unwilling to let a responsible adult help.
