I've been thinking a lot about my diagnoses in June and what I've learned so far. I realised that there was quite a lot of info that I learned from this forum and not the doctor.... Here goes:
1) prescriptions for T1s are free. The pharmacy nor the diabetes team pointed this out to me
2) medical waste bins are on prescription. I had to make an appointment with the GP to add it on
3) that you may need a flu jab
4) sick day rules
5) stress and hot weather can affect BS
Has anyone else learned more here than from the docs?
Thank you forum!
