[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2493828, member: 365308"] Hello and welcome to the forum too! I am no a tandem pump plus dexcom. I have diabetic eye damage so am on YT quite a lot not to mention Audible but leave gaming to my boys (x box Fifa etc.). IS there a game ;you can recommend that doesn't result in rage at the machine?! I to type 1 when aged 10 and gone the full gamit of urine tests plus rigid carb counting/animal insulins regime through depression/eating disorders (I think these were connected to type 1) and out the other side to managing well wih the aid of low carb and a pump that talks to my dexcom. It is annoying but I am always surprised when other people feel sorry for me. I work ft as a personal trainer, have had 3 kids and other than that blip in my teens/20s plus bad retiopathy post first pregnancy, it hasn't stopped me much, isn't disfiguring and is mainly a nuisance day to day! How do you feel about it ? Do you know anyone else personally who has it? I still make mistakes like not changing my pump site enough or forgetting to do a bolus or organise my supplies. I then feel stupid and/or guilty for this self sabotage but those are pretty pointless emotions so unlike at your age, I don't stay miserable about it for long. This too shall pass! I suppose, like you, and as a 51 yo I just can't remember not having to deal with it. My parents were, and are, great about it and it wasn't until I had my own babies that I realised quite how hard it must have been for them to see me struggle with it. Right now I am feeling lucky not to be living somewhere where I can't get hold of my meds easily. When I see my blood sugars spike due to a pump delivery problem it does remind me just how insulin dependant I am! [/QUOTE]
