Managing Diabetes with ADHD: What Can I Do?

diabetic (type one), with ADHD. at my wits end, I have so much trouble being able to consistently test my sugars and then treat them. I've only been insured again for a few months, and was thinking of going back on the pump and then asking about cgm but I'm not too sure if they'll cover the cgm. what had anyone else done to help them better remember to check sugars and take shots until they got on the devices? (besides alarms, I've tried that and it's never worked.)

The freestyle Libra (sp?) is pretty good. I was using the Dexcom and my insurance decided they would no longer over it. The freestyle works well and isn’t $$$. I struggle with remembering. You have to remember you tap it to your phone every 4 hours. You can set reminders which helps!
