My boyfriend is 24, got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in november, the DR. sent for his insulin pump and should be here in a month, my question is: We watched the video, read the information, etc. I still dont see how it's any easier than injections. (He takes humalog 3-4x a day, the fast acting, and lantis once a day the long acting) He doesnt "count" his carbs, like he's supposed to he just guesses, and he seems to be getting it down, since his first a1c was over 12 and now it's 7.5 he's going good they said, but does it have to be ACCURATE carb counting with the pump? anyone with type 1 and/or an insulin pump that can give me some more first hand information that would be great! Anyone have troulbe with it? what about while you are umm..."in bed" swimming, showering, I guess i'm kind of worried but he gets mad if i worry. thanks for any help!
