| Diabetes runs in my family and I have lost both my great grandma and Grandma to this disease. My mom, sister, brother and 2 aunts are diabetic. Diabetes is very serious and can lead to many other things if not treated. Please get checked out as soon as possible and if it is (god willing its not) you can control it with lifestyle changes. My grandma passed away at 54 and looked to be about 80, she had her fingers amputated, was on dialysis . she let the disease basically eat her up and never followed a diet and monitored her sugar I dont mean to scare you but I just wanted to let you know that its very common but also serious. sending good thoughts!

From age 6-12 when she was on needle therapy, her A1c levels were in the 8+ range, since the pump she dropped down to the low 7 range and the last 2 years she's been in the low 6's. Now if your daughters A1c level is in a good range (7 is the target goal) and she doesn't mind needle therapy, she may not need a pump but if she has lots of highs and lows and doesn't seem to be able to get good control, I highly recommend looking into getting the pump. Minimed has pump seminars, I know our hospital has one just about every year. You learned about the pump, it's pros and cons, they even let you try the pump, you learn how to insert the infusion set and at some point prior to buying the pump, my daughter was able to wear a pump for 48 hours, with the pump pumping a saline solution (or was it sterile water?) and not insulin. So you got a pretty good feel of how it was sleeping with the pump, bathing with the pump and changing your clothes with the pump.

If you're on the pump, you can eat your carbs and candy too! :-) Good luck, sending prayers your way that your appointment next week goes well and that everything is just fine.
