[QUOTE="Andy7075, post: 1040741, member: 260095"] Hi, I have only been diagnosed with type 1 for about 6 months, at first I checked my sugars all of the time but lately I either forget, don't have time or quite simply can't (if at work and in a meeting or something). I really feel that a constant blood sugar monitor and pump would suit me so more than checking my sugars manually. I also think that I would suit a pump rather than insulin pens. When I do get round to checking I am sky high most of the time, I take insulin to manage it but then don't get round to checking my sugars to see if I have successfully balanced my sugars. I feel that as I am managing my diabetes quite poorly that I just feel ill all of the time, I have now been diagnosed with depression which I feel is because of this (maybe I'm not depressed at all) and I have horrible itchy skin things all over my legs. I lost loads of weight before I got diagnosed and I just can't seem to put it back on. Is this because of the diabetes? Are constant blood sugar monitors available on the NHS and do they send the information directly your pump? Any advice would be much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
