Oh my gosh. I don't even know where to start with this post.
I think I'll go take a nap and respond later in more detail, however, my first thoughts are:
1. Diabetes is hard to deal with, the first thing you need to work on is changing your attitude though and dealing with your anxiety. Diabetes camp and counseling could help with this.
2. NPH is horrid insulin for a type 1, especially a high-schooler. Lantus and Levemir with your Humalog varying according to your carb intake is a much better option. This would let you sleep in and eat what the rest of the family is eating. A pump would be even better.
3. 8.1 isn't good, but it's certainly not horrid either. You don't have that far to go. If you are that good on NPHell, I'm sure you'll do even better on Lantus or Levemir even more easily.
