[QUOTE="sugarmummy, post: 118528, member: 24383"] Thank you for taking the time to reply, really good to hear other views. Sometimes I feel like I'm in a bit of a bubble & the only person going through this. We have now been given a provisional start date to go on the pump which is towards the end of April. Dreading the setting up period as am a single, working mum. Have been advised to take a couple of weeks of annual leave during this period, but starting to wonder if working at the same time as bringing up a 3 year old with diabetes, on my own, is really compatable. Is there anyone out there managing to do it? have been doing it for the last year, but the sleep deprivation finally caught up with me & I am now off sick with exhaustion...does it get easier? I'm usually woken because she wet having leaked out of her nappies due to the high sugar levels which follow immediately after her evening meal, or because she is low. I passed through life like a zombie, but it finally got too much & I couldn't do my job effectively anymore. Trying to decide now what to do in the long term while I am off sick, but it's really difficult to know. Will the pump make a dramatic enough improvement & allow me to sleep, or should I really be considering giving work up for a bit until she is older? Any views would be gratefully received sharon x [/QUOTE]
