[QUOTE="leslie10152, post: 1459697, member: 352928"] My first 5 years as a diabetic were a nightmare! Besieged by 'armchair authorities' and people who simply did not understand what this condition will do to you. When I dragged my heels during hypers, I was deemed as lazy. When I suffered emotional swings, I was being childish! There was little or no support until I raised hell in hospital after a 2nd heart attack in 2011. It was then that someone realised that I was on ineffective insulin. I was told that I fell between the cracks! Very bad mistake!! I am isolated here in the ACT, the rest of my family are scattered across NSW, so I had no family support at the worst times of my life. The forum, for me is a godsend. [/QUOTE]
