I would like to ask all people living with diabetes whether they feel that at some point counselling and more emotional support would have been useful to them?
This could have been at diagnosis stage or at any other stage.
I am asking the diabetic community as I have been a type 1 diabetic for 18 years and whilst my local diabetic care team are excellent at helping with the medical side of living with the condition I feel that the psychological and emotional side is ignored and the diabetic nurses often don't have time to offer this. I am a qualified therapeutic counsellor looking to improve the emotional/psychological care for people and start a new project. Your views, comments and experiences will be crucial and invaluable to my research.
I thank you in advance.
