Hi, my name is Amy and I've been T1 diabetic for 14 years. I've always struggled with blood sugar control and yo-yo an awful lot. Previously I have never liked the idea of a pump as I'm quite needle-phobic and feel quite self - conscious. I've always liked that with injections people can't really tell there's anything wrong with you!
I'm now 21 and realise that a pump would probably be the best way forward as I really do need to start getting better control of my sugars. I have noticed over the years that I have a lot of mood swings and get very anxious on a daily basis, I'm wondering if a lot of that is due to my sugars going from one extreme to the other?
What I'd like to know is if anyone has any good experiences of how going onto a pump has given them better blood sugar control which has helped with mood/ anxiety levels and made you feel happier than before?
I have the opportunity to go onto the Omnipod this summer which I am seriously considering so just looking for any advice and support really!
