It turned out my body had started to reject the cannulla's, my body was attacking them and I wasn't able to get any insulin.  I felt so ill for months, in the end I collapsed at work and spent a few days in hospital. The pump was taken from me and I went back onto injections, at this point I was feeling better and I realised that taking injections wasn't so bad after all.  It meant that I wouldn't have to feel so bad so I would put up with it, a year later I have not once complained about injecting, haven’t wanted to. I think for me it was trying something different that helped me realise injections aren’t so bad.  I just want to let you know you’re not alone, I know how you feel about injections, I know how you feel about diabetes, (I am 29, diagnosed when I was 17) I have have struggled for years with accepting it. I've finally come to terms with the fact it aint going away and neither are the injections, but that isn't a bad thing, the injections keep you on your feet.  i really hope that you feel better someday about having diabetes and I hope you and your child keep well! =D RegardsDaniel</blockquote>
