    MY DIABETIC NURSE LISTENED TO ME FOR ONCE!!

    Snodger, I doubt it was your second point, I was at my wits end so politely asked her to play a game with me . I played the game of devil's advocate ....I asked her what she was going to do in 4hrs time, 8hrs time, tonight and then Saturday morning at 08.30am. On each occasion she couldn't...

    Fed up with being discriminated against...

    Borofergie Just read your reply again.. I standby by what I have written, the few who do not or refuse to adjust make the rest of us have problems and the jumping through government hoops even more difficult.

    Mood Swings in Men

    I noticed as soon as I became Type 1 that my personality changed. I became very short tempered, aggressive, impatient etc. In fact the complete opposite of what I was prior to my diagnosise.
