[QUOTE="dancer, post: 1250293, member: 110569"] We all know stress causes havoc with our blood sugars, so make sure they know about absolutely everything you've been through. Not having contact with your DSN certainly wouldn't have helped matters. I know that mine was very helpful on many occasions, sometimes reminding me of things I'd forgotten, or suggesting something else. Make sure they also know about you not being able to speak to your DSN for necessary support. If you want to stay on the pump, fight for it. Things may not be as bad as you think. Your doctor perhaps just gave you a verbal kick up the backside, to ensure you started using your pump effectively. Are your blood sugars OK now, or are they still acting up? If they're not OK, start off with basal testing to get them sorted. Then check your carb ratios to make sure you're taking enough insulin for all your meals. New job, or not, make sure you test two hours after eating, to find out how things are. Are there particular times when your blood sugar is high? Would a temporary basal help? I hope this all works out well for you. [/QUOTE]
