[QUOTE="Flowerpot, post: 599587, member: 47217"] Hi James I hope that you can get your insulin injections and eating sorted as soon possible, you sound as if you started off doing a great job. Diabetes clinic staff have seen it all before, we all go through times where it seems a great big pointless effort but it's what we need to do. We are insulin dependent, it's not an optional extra. I went through a period of not bothering in my 20's about 20 years ago and I'm living with the consequences. Unfortunately complications can hit you hard, I imagined I might get a few minor niggles in old age but ended up with complications that changed my life in my 30's. Knowing what I know now I would give anything to go back and take care of myself when I had the chance. Pumps are a great way of controlling blood sugars but it is not a case of handing over control to a machine. They take a lot of setting up and ongoing care to make sure you get the best results. You've made a good move coming on here and asking for help, like the others have said make a start now to stop any potential damage starting. Coping with insulin injections and carbohydrate counting are the easy bits, coping with complications are the really hard bits. Wishing you good luck getting to grips with it all. [/QUOTE]
