[QUOTE="lilyfleur, post: 555003, member: 44536"] Counselling is exactly what I needed, and I'm convinced I would've avoided 10 years of bad control if I'd been offered it in my first couple of years, instead of having to demand it after about 6 years, and then having to fight for it for a few more! It also would help if any therapists actually had experience in this area, as I've found the ones I've seen (whilst my most recent ones have been brilliant) really haven't known where to start, because they've not understood the physical cravings behind some of the anger towards it. It really annoys me that it isn't offered early on, especially when looking back on it, I had an obvious eating disorder, I was clearly not taking medication properly and yet nobody even noticed! I wasn't even hiding it well! Type One Diabetes since 2001, Coeliac Disease since 2003 ish, IBS, and on and off depression and diabulimia. Current HbA1c 11.7% :( [/QUOTE]
