Ouch! I know I'm not the only one this happens to & I know this is the place for sharing & support. I don't even feel like mentioning my reasons why as they should be irrelevant. It just happens, we all know that. When it happens, it starts a vicious circle of negativity that seems impossible to escape. I can talk myself into doing what I'm supposed to & that lasts a few days at best but that depression factor rears its ugly face & I fall off again for weeks. I was on the Omnipod & did like it, however, it aided my laziness & I also found that even though I thought I did a decent job of rotating pod placement, I began forming lumps/bumps of scar tissue because I have a small area of acceptable locations. I am petite, 5'2" & 100 lbs. My A1C pre-pump was an improved 7.7. After 3 months of pump wear, I was back up to a 9.3. The heart of my issue is stopping to think about testing & taking the insulin for my meals. Now off the pump for about 2.5 years, I use lantus & humalog. In my current state I rarely test my bg & use the humalog. I hate that I'm in this funk & I know its up to me to make changes & good form good habits, so I'm asking for encouraging words & motivation. I know my fellow T1's understand what I'm going through mentally!
