[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 1737028, member: 372717"] OK, you haven't had any support, or if you have it clearly hasn't been enough. And I really don't think the threats of diabetic complications if you don't keep perfect blood sugars are helpful to new diabetics. You've got time to learn how insulin works. Please tell your clinic how you're feeling (eg that your life has ended and you'll never be happy again) and also tell them if your insulin is still making you feel ill, which it definitely shouldn't. There are other long acting insulins you can use if lantus doesn;t work for you, and long term you could even go on an insulin pump if that suits you better. Please ASK FOR HELP. (OK, maybe your clinic is useless and they won't give you any but at this stage you don't have anything to lose by asking.) Don't let them fob you off with a 5 minute chat and an instruction to come back in 6 months time. Make them do their job, which is to help you. Good luck. (Despite the irritated replies you've had to some of your posts on here, most of us do have some appreciation of how hard a new T1 diagnosis can be, and we do honestly want you to get to a better place, both mentally and physically. No, you can't get to a non diabetic place, but you can get to a better place than you are now. Hope this post doesn't come across as condescending, I really don't mean it to be.). [/QUOTE]
