[QUOTE="Poosecat, post: 1606685, member: 412948"] I know the feeling! I've just been through the process and yesterday was given my pump. This week it is with saline and then I go live with insulin next week. The training was really intense and sooooo many things to learn and work out. My reason too is for dawn phenomenon and my libre data showed that 16% of my time was spent hypoglycaemic. Anyway, I was warned that things are like to get worse before they get better, but the improvement will be life changing. I'm too, fairly new to carb counting. It is totally overwhelming, but if you want to go for it, then don't let anxiety get in the way. My husband came to the training too, which helped him to understand it better. Another thing they gave me was a quality of life questionnaire which made me feel so much more normal. It highlighted all the thoughts and feelings that diabetic people can have that can consume their life. I left feeling positive. I hope you have the strength and support to make the right decision for you (whatever that may be) [/QUOTE]
