[QUOTE="sharonValerie, post: 364886, member: 48662"] Hi Claire, It sounds like you're having a really tough time of it. I know how you feel. I was diagnosed with Type 1 25 years ago and I still hate it. I have the complication of no warning signs for hypo and have suffered with hypo comas for many years with multiple admissions to hospital. You need to find someone you can talk to who will support you and encourage you. You have to know that you're not alone. Have you asked about seeing a dietician about helping you find stuff you can eat that will help you put weight on. Also as your doctor about a pump. This may help you enormously as there is much less injecting (only when you need to change the insertion site) and you get little devices that actually help you do this. All in all the pump is great and it sounds like it would be ideal for you. I don't know what the requirements for a pump are where you like, but if you have a good diabetes team they should be able to do something to help you. Please ask them and don't give up. Remember your little girl needs you and you should be able to enjoy every minute of these early years with her. Remember when you feel alone and need to talk just post here on the forum and someone will talk to you and encourage you. Don't give up, you'll get there. :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
