I've read up on the course and it's for adults. I'm going to have to ring up as I'm only 16 therefore not an adult. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I just have to arrange to do the course. I was just looking for advice about it. I wanted to know what this course entailed because my doctors didn't give me any info. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Ahh thanks, I've tried arms and legs but I'm too skinny and I bruise and bleed like mad. There's just no winning!x Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I've been searching loads but my results are pretty much inconclusive. It's only really in the last 6 months that everything has gone pear shaped. My injection sites on my stomach bleed loads and severely lump. I've been diabetic 10 years now and everything's getting on top of me. Then to top it...

I have to arrange to do the course but its very hard when you have to go to college and placement every week. My stomach is a mess and I'm very self conscious about it. I always wear long tops to hide the marks as I've had people stare and laugh. My doctor and nurse don't understand what us...

Aw, I've got a busy schedule so fitting the course in is going to be hard. I have 4/5 a day as well. My sites are a mess and it's affecting me emotionally but the hospital are turning a blind eye. They do things when it suits them. They don't look to the patient holistically. If it was up to me...

The hospital is no help at all is it? To be honest I feel failed by the nhs as they don't help you cope with your diabetes when going through a hard time. They will be told that I will have a pump though. I really don't want this course though. What does it entail? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

My doctor said do the dafne course and try doing your insulin that way then we can think about the pump. I've told them I want the pump no matter what but my nurse is making me do this course. If I don't they won't let me have the pump x Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Anyone with an insulin pump have to do the dafne course. My doctor won't allow me to have an insulin pump till I've done this course. Please help! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Does anyone know of any vitamins I could take to try and boost my immune system. It's unbelievable how poorly I get from simple colds. Soon as anything comes I go down so poorly, the hospital are a bit useless too! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I use a blemish stick by witch. You can get them in boots for £2.09 and it gets rid of spots and blemishes. It's really handy to have around. I swear by it now x Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
