[QUOTE="lallum1, post: 740712, member: 88024"] I'm a type 1 variant. I had to fight to get on a DAPHNE course in 2004 because it was thought not suitable for me. I found it extremely helpful. I would strongly recommend it. I still see, on a six monthly basis, the lady who ran the course which has allowed me to ask questions after the course and as I have got older. I have had extremely negative reactions from my GP practice. One GP said I was wasting my time. I told him that after a walk with my children, we can enjoy an ice cream or tea and cake which I was previously denied as it was thought to be 'naughty'. I told him it benefited my children as they saw me doing normal things with them. Another doctor complained of the extra cost of blood strips and two different types of insulin. I was also told it would make me fat! I ignored the GPs and have refused to have diabetic care through them. I go straight to the consultant clinic. I think this deprives them of income as they do not offer diabetic services. Ha ha ha! [/QUOTE]
