Michelle87,
So you need some advice? Okay. First let me tell you that I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1970; 43 years ago. The VERY best advice I could give you is to recommend an insulin pump. It really is miraculous. My A1C had been in the 8.0 to 9.0 rang for years, and NOTHING I tried had any effect on it. I finally decided to try an insulin pump. In 90 days my A1C had dropped to 6.0. I presently am at about 5.7. The best news is that on an insulin pump, you really can eat just about anything that you desire. The trick is to know, or have an accurate idea of the total carbs of whatever you're gonna eat. Then take the insulin, and sit back and have your mind blown at how your blood sugars remain level. It really is THE best way to control type 1 diabetes. I hope my "advice" helps. Good luck. After having had type 1 for 43 years, I can tell you that if you control this, you'll be healthier than people who don't have diabetes. That's a promise.
