Hey... yeah these stories all sound pretty familiar... It was before my 7th birthday that I went in to the doctors office where they told me that my blood sugars were in the 300s. I went to the hospital and come to find out they had misread my blood sugars and was in fact hovering around 1200... I had lost 20 pounds as a 7 year old (my parents just thought i was a skinny kid ha!) and got to spend 3 days in the Intensive care unit and then another 3 in the regular hospital... I am 22 now and have been on the pump for 8 years now... I cant remember the last time I have had an A1C over 7, and the pump has changed my life.
