I am glad to hear you are having good luck with your pump. I've been type 1 for most of my life, and on a pump for the last two years. The freedoms it provides are well worth it ,even with having to test glucose more often. Just remember that the highs and lows are more radical if there are miscalculations. Lol, your right about potatoes. I find the same with sweets that are heavy carb, on the rare occasions that I want them. Good luck. Lissa.
