[QUOTE="ConradJ, post: 530668, member: 66676"] Well done Reece, I'm very happy for you. As Donnellydogs said, "learn from it" and put the experience to good use... [LIST=1] [*]Don't rely upon the technology and insulin to manage your diabetes for you - it's an easy trap to fall into (personal experience :(); [*]Go back to basics with your management and pump use - make sure you change sites, store your insulin correctly, carb-count and blood test properly, etc.; [*]Set up regular meetings with a Diabetes Specialist Nurse trained in pump use - he/she will act as an important 'second sight' when reviewing your results; [*]Get an account with Diasend ([URL='http://www.diasend.com/']www.diasend.com/[/URL]) - your DSN will have to set that up for you - as it will really help with your diabetes management (it stores both pump and BG monitor results and correlates the data for better analysis); [*]Get rid of all those bad habits you have developed (e.g. incorrect hypo treatment, too many fast carbs, etc.) and re-establish good ones... get your friends and family in on the act - they [I][U]will[/U][/I] want to help and support you! [*]Don't rush it, or panic or kick yourself too hard if you have periods where you fall into the old ways... it takes time to re-establish control (as Omnipod says, doing things too quickly can be both dangerous and damaging). [*]Keep posting - both in the good and the bad times! [/LIST] With very best wishes, Conrad [/QUOTE]
