[QUOTE="NoKindOfSusie, post: 1585930, member: 441787"] For what it's worth (which is nothing) I am not that keen on the whole pump thing, I've seen some very gory photos of what it can be like and personally I would prefer to remain "unmodified" if you see what I mean. People swear by them and that's fine but personally I am not keen. One of the biggest questions I have about this is "feeling top notch." Except when I've been incredibly dangerously high I have not felt anything other than just lethargic and **** for weeks and it is just exhausting to feel bad for this long. People who think they know me well enough ask me "what's it feel like" and they mean "what does diabetes feel like." The answer right now is that it feels like being weak and sick but a few months ago my answer would have been that I assumed it didn't feel like anything because if your blood sugar is in the normal range you should feel entirely normal. Is that actually right? Should I ever expect to feel normal, like I felt normal in, say, June, when I still had a working pancreas? I have read articles where people say you never feel quite right, you always feel a bit off, and if that's true that's going to be very hard to deal with. I should separate this from feeling totally nauseous and disgusted when I sit up in bed in the morning and see all the stuff lying there ready but that's just me being totally mental and I just need to get over it.
