[QUOTE="lizdeluz, post: 557375, member: 32108"] Rereading my own post, I feel I may have sounded negative about counselling! and I'm really not. I've had a shocking lack of control of my diabetes at times, well, pretty constantly really. I could have done with counselling to put a stop to that. It's only looking back that I can see the pressure I was under, and it makes me appreciate the pressures that others with diabetes probably are undergoing most of the time, many without any help to address or reduce the pressures. I never received any 'screening' for the psychological effects of diabetes as a long-term condition. I think this is what you are proposing? Do you think, like I do, that this should be a standard part of caring for people with diabetes? Tell me it's too costly? Yes, I know, but that doesn't mean we should continue to put our heads in the sand for ever more. [/QUOTE]
