I have been offered the options of an insulin pump but don't really know all that much about them. Can anyone help with info? ]]> Young adults with Diabetes.

I am 23 years old, type 1 diabetic for 6 years now. I take lantus and humalog injections. These past few weeks I have been noticing that my blood sugar will go really low in the middle of the night and when I wake up in the morning it will be REALLY high. For example.. last night before bed at 10:30 my blood sugar was 145. It went low 2 times in the middle of the night, first time around 12:30am and the second around 2:30 am. I woke up both times sweating and my heart was pounding out of my chest. I keep a juice box next to my bed so I dont have to go far. I woke up at 6 for work, got ready and checked my blood sugar and it was 300!! This has been happening almost every night, maybe every other. I go to sleep, my sugar is fine, I wake up and its so HIGH. I used to take my lantus in the morning with breakfast and I thought maybe that was just wearing off by the morning, but recently I have switched back to taking it at night and still, the same thing. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. I have been logging all my blood sugars due to my glycomark test coming back poor. Too many fluctuations throughout the day. Also, my AIC was 6.4 when I saw my doctor a few weeks ago.

Again, any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you
