Spent a full day with a friend last week cleaning & tidying my daughter & her boyfriends flat. Was knackered & my friend did her back in. Went round 2 days later SAME MESS!!!! AAARRRRGGGHH. I ain't doing it again.

Thats the best laugh i have had in ages!!!!

Have been re-referred again. Unfortunately because of my mental health diagnosis I am only allowed to be referred to complex care & they have shut the door. Am hoping diabetic team, when I see my new consultant will give them a nudge. I am making steps to show them that I want to deal with my...

OK Maz, firstly it IS NOT your fault that she is diabetic, yes its passed down genetically but can & does skip generations. My nan was one of 13 children, my nan didn't have diabetes but all her siblings did, her daughter(my mum) didn't have diabetes however me & my 2 siblings have. It is...

I have had a look at the link & it looks like something that may help. Unfortunately money is that tight we struggle to do a weekly shop. No chance of hols or private therapy. Thank you so much for the support. I have been re-referred back to mental health services, I have an appointment next...

Its definately about feeling your therapist understands & wants to help. I know my mental health diagnosis also makes it difficult, but I have always been open & honest with the mental health team as I always felt it was my job to provide them with the full picture & I now feel very let down...

Yes, North West Lancashire. An understanding CPN would be ideal or someone who could help me deal with my self hate. I don't feel I am good enough for this world, my friends or my family. I have tried to fight through & my husband gives me a low level back ground insulin, but when my sugar...

Thanks for your reply. I have mental health issues & sometimes use my diabetes to self harm, I have been referred for help 3 times by my fab gp, but have been told each time that they won't help as it isn't a life threatening issue! I am still struggling & willing to accept help but none there...

Fab lol x

I think part of the problem is that the mental health team don't know enough about diabeties & how it can be used to self harm or to enable weight loss. I wonder if there are any specialised therapists that deal with this? x

Oh Maz, you have had a horrible time & you have done fabulously well, honestly you really have. Anybody in this world that comments on your addiction in a nasty way is lying to themselves in one way or another, as we all have flaws & do things that society believes is wrong, but we are all human...

I hope she is okay & that things are improving, I hate to think of either of them suffering.

Have only just come across this thread, but how could anybody not be touched by the picture & desperation of a mother who has no legal control over her daughter. Maz my thoughts & prayers are with you both, like many on this forum. Mental health & a persons reaction to diabetes is often...

So very pleased for you. Its amazing how many women miscarry at some point in there lives. I had a miscarriage at 13 weeks, but now have 3 children- aged 24, 21 & 14. :) xx

Hi, I am no expert, but what I can say is that I had loads of hypos when I was pregnant with my 3rd child, as I was so petrified of highs that I often over compensated. My baby was delivered safe & sound even though I had been admitted unconscious with bm of 1. something & they had to chase it...

I agree but it is harder when it isn't just the diabetes you are fighting. Depression is often a seperate beast that isn't just related to the diabetes, when that is the case yes you have to fight, but it is much harder. However I do agree that poor diabetic control won't help mental health issues.

Ps thought I had deleted the first sentence lol:***:
