Hi there,
I’m new to this and I don’t really know where to start.

Thanks,Welcome to the forum @SwampyWilson from another pumper.
What pump are you using?
Which insulin are you using?
Are you using a sensor such as Libre?
I am glad that you have found the forum.
Ask any questions that you want.
Thanks for this.Burnout is a horrible thing @SwampyWilson First of all,know you’re not alone. Many of us have suffered burnout. How I dealt with mine was to relax my targets slightly. That took some of the pressure off. I also tried to reduce the work of diabetes and generally on the days I couldn’t cope with the incessant detail of it all, I winged it a little eg I judged carbs by eye rather than sit there totting up every gram. Sometimes the tech can make diabetes a bigger focus of your life. I also took a pump break and that change helped me too.
I’ve managed to bolus today and have checked my sugars at meal times. I’ve only managed to eat twice and small things, but it’s a positive start without any unrealistic expectations.
Thank you so much for your compassion and understanding @everydayupsanddowns
It’s really nice to be in a place with people who know what it’s really like.
