[QUOTE="debz48, post: 1192606, member: 80067"] PLEASE I REALLY NEED SOME HELP Hello Snapsy. Im a first time poster, and I have just read your post. I know exactly what you mean, due to the fact I feel the same way you do. I am a 48 year old woman, who has had type 1 for over 47 years now. I was 11 and a half months old when I was diagnosed, so I have known no other way to live my life. Constantly test my blood levels, working out the carbs and insulin doses. In my later teens I rebelled against my diabetes majorly (when I was younger, my parents were told that "this would happen. No ifs or buts"). I have since then become resilliant to insulin and find it particularly difficult to control. It was eight years ago put onto the pump, to see if this would help get my diabetes into better control. Unfortunately it has not. I dont know where to turn or what to do. I am at the moment so depressed with it I dont really want to go on. Im constanly stressed with these feelings. My diabeties team have no idea how to advise me. They do genually seem very concerned at this, as they have never seen me so down. I used to always have a smile on my face and very happy with everyþhing. Im only posting on the forum now, as I really do not know where to turn for hèlp and advice. If any one can suggest anything, please replý. I also have numerous oth health issues that are also contributing to the PLEASE I REALLY NEED SOME HELP Hello Snapsy.
