[QUOTE="simon hand, post: 659785, member: 6833"] Hi I'm Simon I'm 44 type 1 diabetic and have been since I was 21. I'm in reasonable shape but my eyes are deteriorating. I thought I would come on here to chat with other diabetics to get tips advice and listen to other peoples problems and concerns. I've been feeling very depressed of late as my wife left me at the beginning of the year having an affair and one of the contributing factors was my diabetes or so I was told and she has used this against me to say my two daughters aren't safe with me, more so if I have a hypo. Unfortunately, I've had a chest infection recently and as result of that I had a hypo which to be honest is very unusual for me but my youngest daughter who is 11 was with me on her own in the house but she was fantastic and called for help. I've considered an insulin pump as I met another diabetic who was having hypos and then was recommended to change to a pump and he says he's never looked back ? Can anyone recommend an insulin pump or advise on their experiences with one. If anyone else has any tips advise I would be very happy to hear about it. Thanks Simon [/QUOTE]
