Do pumps make things easier? Mom of a newly diagnosed teenager

My 13-year-old son was diagnosed two months ago after ending up in the ER with DKA. I'm still struggling with his diagnosis and trying to make sense of everything. I feel like we're thinking about diabetes 24/7.

I was wondering if having an insulin pump makes things easier. We're currently on MDI and using a FreeStyle Libre sensor. Where I live, they make you wait six months before you can apply for a pump, and I'm really looking forward to that.

I want him to live as normal a life as possible and enjoy it to the fullest. I really hope the pump makes a difference.

I'd love to hear about your experiences. Words of encouragement are also very welcome.

Thanks for reading.
