Hello all
I ve had real issues with having diabetes from the age of 37, 3 weeks prior i was a seemingly fit and healthy individual working as a fitness instructor and basically living the dream! then i suddenly started to feel all of the classic symptoms then bam hospital ! Next im a type 1 on insulin injections! guys it was like a car crash i was in shock. Anyway I dealt with the physical side of it the testing bla bla but after a while i got really angry as to why me why now etc and yep you guessed it No one professional to talk over my mental issues relating to it.
my DSN sent me to the local pain clinic as that was as close as we had in the area remotely close to be able to discuss a diabetics issues and as yet 10 years later its still the same!!
Anyone had similar issues and difficulties in this area i would be fascinated to hear
Andy
