[QUOTE="Tirianne, post: 964335, member: 196322"] SO sorry to hear about your experiences - it sounds demoralising, unnecessary and unacceptable. I've also had similar problems with medication and met some difficult HCPs, but I could also tell you about many people who do get the 'best deal' from the system. My life has literally been saved twice, a friend had quadruple by-pass surgery at 50 due to 72 hour shifts on call as a junior doctor and stress of the job. Yes, I agree, it does have a lot to do with budget but it's a really complex problem and with no easy answers. Someone once told me that you can only change things 'one person at a time.' Thankfully, there is hope. I've found it here on this forum with people like you with experience and encouragement to share. So any new diabetic doesn't need to feel a lack of hope because there's access to advice and support from 100s or is it 1000's of others?
