What causes people with Type 1 diabetes to get bad headaches and migraines?

My little brother has type 1 diabetes.  He was diagnosed when he was 12 months old and he sometimes get bad migraines. What causes migraines and bad headaches when you have type 1 diabetes?

He is 17 years old and is a big part of me. If something ever happened to him, I don’t know what I’d do.  I need some responses here guys.

Thank Tralee, but he already has an insulin pump as do most people with type 1.

Seeing a girl with type 1 diabetes what should I do?

I recently started seeing a girl with type 1 diabetes and an insulin pump that goes into her body somewhere. I am not that familiar with diabetes and am not sure how to handle it. Not that I think any differently of her im just wondering should I keep some glucose tabs, blood sugar test strips, and things like that around or with the pump is this all controlled and monitored. Or should I not even think about it at all and let her handle everything obviously she should know what to do.
