Re: Have you ever had mental health issues related to diabet I am suffering from depression, it's partly due to my diabetes and both my mum and stepdad causing me grief and constantly on my back about everything Then the depression is causing burnout, my A1c level is way higher than before I...

I went in to the GP today to get a refill on my painkillers for my back & a referral for physio. However the system popped up that I am due a bunch of blood tests. I am confused about these except the A1c I saw a locum and said put it on "ICE so I can get them done at the hospital" and then I...

Problem has been resolved, She gave me the vodka outside of college time so I am not reporting her at all. She was actually very sorry and I am not bothering to report her. I really do not want to be doing any suing as there is waaaay to much paper work.

OH GAWD, not the diabetic chocolate My friend bought me some as a joke. Jokes on him from the end result ;)

hahaha Maybe. I got a bottle of vodka out of it, Now I just gotta buy some diet coke or pepsi max

Well Today was a very different experience. She bought me a bottle of vodka.. I love the stuff (I am 20 so its k) :crazy: and did a full on sinser apology in front of the class. Looks like I wont be going with the complaint, I think she actually realised what she said really upset me

I am going to sleep on this about writing the letter of complaint. While I do not want a huge can of worms opened, I just mearly want it just to be raised on that she needs to think on what she says and have an apology. While I only have this lecturer for 1 more session on Friday then I have...

I am just after an apology & just make sure that she thinks before she speaks. I am not in the mood to sue as 1. too much paperwork 2. silly thing to be suing about. Apology just needed Hopefully the college will take this seriously

I had a quiet word with her today, Unfortunately did not go very well She was like "I have family who are diabetic and they are not allowed sweets or sugary things at all" and wouldn't listen to me at all even when I said, I am able to adjust my insulin doses to what I have eaten and announced...

I am not entirely sure, Either I was having a day where stupid things where going to get to me or what. I will have a quiet word though as I don't feel instantly going all guns blazing to management should be the first thing Hopefully she will understand that it upset me and that she will think...

I will chat to her tomorrow and if she is being ignorant and not listening, a full formal complaint will go in. I really do not like being reminded I had diabetes every single day. I don't want to be suing as there is too much paper work. I know as I am in the process of it from when I was...

Friday at college, my lecturer decided to bring in some marshmallows & other sweets for everyone. Then went to me "YOUR NOT ALLOWED ANY AS YOU ARE A DIABETIC." I actually felt really offended by what she said. I actually feel inclined to make that decision and adjust my own insulin dose to...

You are not wasting anyone's time, Here is a big hug from me. I am currently being treated for depression too, I had the biggest break down at work and attempted to kill myself when I got home. I wasn't able to face seeing my doctor about it but my boss was really supportive and had me see...

I have been suffering from some serious depression and attempted to commit suicide (Stupid I know) However I am on the up and figured out what the problem is with the help from the mental health team and i am currently taking Fluoxetine to keep my mood up until housing associations can get me my...

I have not changed the needles. I use BD microfine 5mm needles, I did try the 8mm ones but I still came up in the rash. I managed to get hold of a diabetic nurse, he had a look at the rashes and said its an allergic reaction to the preservative in the levemir. He has now now put me onto Lantus...
