My 11 year old son who has had diabetes for a little over a year and is in good control (A1c 6%) using Novolog and Lantus wants to switch to pump therapy for no other reason then he wouldn’t have to take as many injections a day.

My daughter’s urine showed no signs of an infection, but she had some glucose and ketones, so she was immediately sent to an endocrinologist and thought not to have diabetes.

Since children with diabetes watch their diets, do they practice better nutrition and better health habits in later years? Do they do better in abstaining from drugs, alcohol, and tobacco? Have any studies been done?
