[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1382828, member: 30007"] Hi [USER=378109]@theprettysideofugly[/USER] , when you're first diagnosed, it's pretty tough, and we can all sympathise with you. Whilst you can ask for a pump, the concerns you're having now don't go away with a pump as it's just doing a similar job to injections. As [USER=32394]@catapillar[/USER] has said, you really need to talk to your DSN about your worries, and about getting some help dealing with them. It might be worth contacting Diabetes UK and asking them if they have any type 1 meet ups near you so you can gain face to face advice from other T1s who would be able to help reassure you. As has already been stated, if you're running high all the time, the likelihood of hypos is very low. Your best course of action is to speak to your DSN and explain all of your concerns. They should be able to make arrangements to help you with this stuff. [/QUOTE]
