T1D Pump and meal recommendations.

Question

I’m 22 Male, I was just diagnosed with T1 early August. I went into the hospital with a BS of 500+ and A1C of 12.9, since being diagnosed I’ve been taking both long and fast acting insulin via quick pens but I’ve still been struggling to get my BS back to a more stable lvl. (80-150). It’s been hanging around 170-230, I’ve been using the Dexcom G7 and it’s fairly accurate, but I’ve been struggling with meals finding out the carb counts, the only meals I for sure know are for frozen foods, rice, chili, a few more crockpot meals. My folks are suggesting that I get a pump, and wanted to know what pumps would be good for someone working in the construction field? If anyone has recommendations please let me know.
