[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1475872, member: 53162"] Hey [USER=125531]@Mark-optimistic[/USER] - I can sympathise with your social situation, other type 1's will say that nothing has changed, however after diagnosis I did socialise less, it was the addition of bringing my type 1 out with me that put me off going out as much as I used to and then having to think about it while I was out. Now I am on a pump it's not so much of an issue. It would help you greatly in terms of improving your mood to bring your BG levels down if you can, it would also help you to have a chat with your DSN about how you've been feeling, as it's affected your relationship then it is having a direct impact on your life, going down the road of accessing a pump could be a huge positive for you and although it requires effort I am sure given the option you would easily demonstrate the ability to manage it. Also remember that it doesn't always have to be like this, that it can get better, no i'm not giving you false hope, but with a bit of support you could make some improvements and change how it affects your life.
