I bumped up her basal rate, did frequent glucose checks and bolused as needed. Without the pump, she would have easily been in the 300-400's. Since then, life has been much more relaxed about mealtimes and snacks. We'll never go back to shots. Jennifer loves it.
Life is much more normal.
Although she has been on the pump only a month, she is pretty much independent in counting carbs, bolusing the right amount, and adjusting her basal rate for exercise. She can now look forward to a life that should be complication-free.
