Re: Theresa May and her

Sabantha, nobody is questioning how she spends her money or whether the common man would like to be able to afford better care.
However, her position of influence and wealth has the possibility of her peddling the wrong message. We await stories of how she has overcome the difficulties to lead a normal life. However, many are given poor advice, rationed medication and have so many more issues to deal with...

Hi everyone I need to add that this topic IS about Theresa May and her diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. If I earned the amount Mrs May does, then I would probably go private myself, because of the inadequate care that seems to be given by the NHS.
Type 1 can be a life threatening condition when diagnosed, but luckily Theresa May wasn't in that frightening position. Maybe Theresa's diagnosis will have a positive affect on diabetes, and not a negative one. From what she has said, she seems level headed and not panicking. She has, after all, got to give her self injections for the rest of her life, it's not reversible, but obviously good control is. I'm sure whatever specialist she is under, he or she will try to give Theresa the best care possible. Pump's aren't given out without careful consideration and it doesn't happen over night. Even if she was given a pump or bought one, Theresa May would still have to get the dosage right, because she is in control of it. My Diabetes doctor said the pump is only as good as the diabetic using it.
Even though she is an MP, she is still a newly diagnosed Type 1 diabetic and coming to terms with the condition, like many other fellow diabetics out there.
Guys, please try to keep the thread on topic, with interesting and non judgemental views on Theresa May. Lets see if there are any positive changes or good information in the coming months, regarding diabetes ,fingers crossed then.
Take care all
