Type 1 diabetes

Hi,

I have a 12 yr old stepson that would love to get a insulin pump. He does all his injections himself right now and is great at preparing his own meals and recording all his test data. We are so very proud of him. He was just diagnosed this past January as a Type I. He found out the hard way. He almost died from Ketoacidosis

But that is water under the bridge. He is doing great now. My question is; Is it too young for someone his age to get a insulin pump? Secondly how many parents have them on their children and how are working out?

Thanks everyone,

Farmer
