[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2384625, member: 53162"] I am a mum too so can appreciate how priorities change, i've learned over time to accept imperfection, as someone who was always about getting things right I found type 1 to be a massive curve ball to accommodate mentally, I couldn't deal with being out of range and got angry with myself for not getting it right - as you can appreciate you can't last long with that mentality, so now I don't bat an eyelid at double figures, but instead take it as a prompt to adjust and carry on. I use a pump and the Dexcom G6 and can honestly say the G6 had revolutionised control massively for me, it's enabled me to get more active and be more flexible, my team are also brill even with the lockdown they are still there for me and fully supportive, you do need a support team for this so having people around you who can help you make the best decisions are vital, instagram also has a big t1 group so look at other ways to tap into support :) [/QUOTE]
