[QUOTE="Jess33marsh, post: 594380, member: 108992"] Hi Sophie, Thanks for telling me about what sounds like a long hard battle for you! The main thing is that your not giving up and still trying to manage both your conditions and you can speak about it!!! You've highlighted a gap in provision of services in what would be classed as "specialised" area of expertise, However, I think DSN's and ED services really should be educated on these very integral issues that related topics as part of their training. It's very short sighted otherwise and as you've experienced so far extremely unhelpful, frustrating and isolating. Generally counsellors trained in ED can help you but throw in diabetes and it becomes a more complex case and unless you have diabetes or live/know someone close to you with it I can imagine that the everyday crucial fine detail to self care of diabetes is misunderstood and hard to empathise with. Maybe your a good person to pursue this gap in provision when you are ready and recovery. I will be honest and say to you that I'm not a well controlled diabetic myself with other health complications but this just makes me human and passionate about the subject. Your encouragement is fantastic to hear so thank you! If I can help you in any way please feel free to contact me.
