Message: <blockquote data-quote="Annie86" data-source="post: 1325475" data-attributes="member: 291798">David cavan use to be my consultant prior to him leaving the hospital. I am and have been for many years depressed largely due to the diabeyes but this has never been identified by my diabetes team... although after my last appointment I'd imagine they are getting close to the conclusion! I'm fairly good at hiding things though, however I would say that (and due to my nursing experience with many patients with diabetes) there are many tell tell signs of someone who is struggling to cope.... consistent hba1c that are escalated and little change between appointments if any. I do wonder what actions they take when / if they suspect a patient isn't coping and also how they manage this. I also wonder what his view is on diabetes burnout rather than just depression as an isolated symptom/cause</blockquote>
