Hi everyone,
I hate to rant and I don't wanna bring anyone down but I'm really struggling at the moment.
I've been t1 for a year and a half and I don't think I ever really came to terms with it. Obviously I got into the monitoring, carb counting and injecting routine really quickly, so I thought I had accepted it. But I've been on the pump for a month and it's made me realise I really haven't.
I thought the pump would be a game changer. But I've got higher levels than ever before. I know it takes a long time to settle down and get levels right but I have my A2 exams in June and I can't let this get in the way of that. Every time I see my DSN she changes my basal or my carb ratio but I always end up having to go back onto my sick day basal until the next visit (which increases each time she changes anything obviously).
I'm just really struggling to get on with revision etc with it and I'm actually seeing my GP about antidepressants. Is there anything I can do???
Don't let this put you off the pump. It's made eating so much easier! I just don't think I was mentally ready for the difficulties that come with it.
Thank you.
