yes but i recommend this person becoming a good diabetic first. You should be under control before getting pregnant. The pump will help with this. Today most pregnant type 1 women are encouraged to go on the pump. My friend also a type 1 only used her pump during her pregnancies, I got type 1 when my kids were 7 & 5 so I didn't have this problem.
