    Type 1: In need of some advice/support

    Due to being too ill we had to cancel my mums appointment with the diabetic nurse and Im sure there is but will definitely ask about it! Thank you :) it's just hard because I'm no where near home when in university (opposite end of the country in fact) and it's hard to hear that she's so poorly...

    Type 1: In need of some advice/support

    We tried asking the hospital for even just some advice and our doctors too. We've had one community nurse come out since she has been out of hospital in 5 weeks but that was due to ringing the doctors as she has been ill since she came out. I'm only 20 and struggling massively with trying to...

    Type 1: In need of some advice/support

    Psychology is part of the course however it's more sports injury based and about confidence and anxiety et . It's more on a basic level. I'm being able to do a bit more revision day by day just worrying little bits with when I go back. Got a chat with the doctor tomorrow so fingers crossed all...

    I'm currently studying sport rehabilitation (similar to physio therapy) absolutely love it but can't miss too much due to it being such a vocational course. It's more hands on than theory based

    Type 1: In need of some advice/support

    When mum was firstly discharged they knew there was only my younger sister at home but my grandparents would pop in every day to make sure things were ok. We asked about getting a nurse out to check her every day and they said they don't do them however, there are two hospital appointments for...

    Type 1: In need of some advice/support

    Thank you all for your comments I didn't realise I'd get such a response. The reason I'm so worried is because she comes out of hospital then a couple of days later she tends to have similar symptoms and then has to go back in again. I'm just so worried about losing her because I'm only a young...

    Type 1: In need of some advice/support

    Hi there, thank you for the reply. I have been very tempted to get her a band to say about it but never known where to get one from but I'll be having a look online. University are aware of what is happening at home however they have changed their circumstances section for exams so if you put...

    Our neighbour is the one who originally found my mum in the diabetic coma and since she has been absolutely amazing! She is fantastic but we don't want to keep having to stop her from doing what she does with her family. Mum is pretty capable now however she has postural hypotension as well...

    Type 1: In need of some advice/support

    We have tried to have a sit down with family and close friends but only some are able to help mainly due to work commitments and not living close. We have looked into home care and when in hospital we asked whether or not there is a nurse around the area to come out and check up on her even if...

    *daughter [emoji23] but I know it's such a hard one :( yes, unfortunately her sugar levels were unreadable to the point even in the hospital they couldn't get a reading as they were too high. They still don't know what the cause of it is, they think it may have been an infection within her body...

    Type 1: In need of some advice/support

    Hi there, thing are doing a bit better but again she's started to become a little bit ill again but fingers crossed it's only a small bug. The first time she was admitted to hospital everyone was around to care and help out and share emotions etc but since her coming out I've been very much by...

    Type 1: In need of some advice/support

    Hi there, I'm new to this pageboy but was wondering if I could get a response. Beginning of November my mum was rushed into ICU in a diabetic coma and was only given 7 hours to live. (Was told of she was found just 30 minutes later she wouldn't have survived) 6 days later she came out of the...
