Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lainee369" data-source="post: 1272619" data-attributes="member: 342137">Hi - I've just discovered this website and I'm totally overwhelmed at the amount of useful info on here, not to mention finding a forum!My name is Elaine, I live in the Isle of Man, married with two teenage children AND I have had Type 1 diabetes for 20 years! I wear an insulin pump - which delivered an effective first dose after changing its set last evening - then enigmatically stopped delivering any overnight, so I woke up this morning with a BG of 23.6 after having taken 'correcting' doses overnight ... Of course this morning I took a pen injection and changed the set again - and discovered that the canula had somehow got a kink so wasn't delivering.Diabetes team here were a fantastic support - despite having type 1 for 20years and thinking I know how to manage everything - with such high BG and ketones kicking in, I was amazed at how vulnerable and wobbly I did feel! All getting back to normal, yet again : )Looking forward to learning more and sharing. (I'm not used to forums)Best wishes to all - Elaine.</blockquote>
