[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 2373540, member: 68789"] I can totally empathise with T1 frustration, it’s why some of us think living with T1 is like living with a toddler: unpredictable and time consuming. It’s really great when blood sugars are as close as possible to ‘normal’ but the fantastic effects of ‘normal’ on mood and energy bring with them the pain that blood sugars aren’t always so compliant. It must be wonderful to be ‘normal’ all the time! I’ve lived with the diabeast for 51 years. Recent tech advances have made a huge difference and I wouldn’t want to be without the Libre, a Miaomiao and a watlaa. It still takes time, and lots of juggling but I wouldn’t like to be back in the pre-tech-and-better-insulin times when I was well acquainted with highs in 20s or even 30s and debilitating glucagon needed hypos. Horrible. Embarrassing too sometimes. Ugh! I’ve not been offered a pump, but really hope you get yours. I gather some have set up a loop with a pump that helps them to keep their blood sugars in range. I really hope you get the tech too [USER=499305]@hjm1986[/USER] - push the medics, or seek others and ask, ask, ask! [/QUOTE]
