[QUOTE="Marmite-lover, post: 218846, member: 37338"] I really am touched by the kind words and support I'm being given! Thanks so much to everyone! :) That's very sensible advice iHs. I think being a bit overwhelmed, I haven't really known where to start! Looking back at all my blood sugars in my meter has been a bit confusing, so actually writing them down on paper has got things a litle clearer in my mind as to what may need a bit of tweaking. I think that's the key, not to try to change everything at once and just be a bit patient! My DSN said that quite often they can over-calculate the insulin requirements for new pumpers so that probably has been the case for me-I'll get there in the end! I think I was just feeling a bit sorry for myself, because times like these do highlight how tricky diabetes can be to manage. I can't imagine what it would be like to not have to think about food, insulin, blood sugars etc on a daily basis! But equally, to get some perspective, atleast it is a condition that can be controlled. I'm sure things will get a bit easier with practice like so many things in life..! Thanks again for all your replies :) xxxx [/QUOTE]
