Hi, I would like to know please if anyone here could get private health insurance in the UK for type 1 or type 1 children and how much that would cost a month, and if this was possible could the treatment be done privately instead of by NHS involvement also if anyone in the Essex area could...

great info thanks very much

HI jaylee Im so glad you commented because I truly thought you had to go to outpatients for the Hba1c at least that's what we've been told. Can they do it at the doctors for children? I just read on JDRF that the hba1c is not accurate for preteens anyway. We would prefer the GP, currently we...

my query is... can I switch my Childs outpatients diabetes appointments for the Hbac1 to another hospital? and if so... would I have a new diabetic team for her or would I still have the same diabetic nurses connected to our current hospital? also is it possible to go private for paediatric...

There was a number of reasons 1. my child refused it due to having PTSD from the cannula insertion during DKA emergency admission and was terrified of having it fitted 2. my child is still at an age where they play so didn't want to keep knocking it 3. my child would still need the finger...

Yes I wish I could've recorded the other day. So much abuse happening with vulnerability, really is.. So your mother is type 1 too, we had no type 1 on either side of our families so this was a shock really was. Would never in a million years have ever seen this coming. You have such a great...

1966 wow wow another trooper, you've done so well, god bless. Appreciate you stopping by this thread to share you story thank you. We're not even a whole year in just yet and I feel broken already, a nervous wreck. We're living in fear of being accused of not managing the diabetes well enough...

haha! "as much clout as a pillow fight" I hope so... although they all seem to think they are superior... I prefer narcissistic than superior.... yep I really took the bait the other day when I was being shut down and lied about... just couldn't keep my mouth shut... So I've now got to sit here...

Thanks Jaylee. My child is ten in a few weeks, was diagnosed type 1 in April last year so almost a year now. Worst year of all our lives, been many tears but can honestly say the worst issue has been the way the diabetic team have treated me. The level of disrespect is shocking, I'm not allowed...

Thanks all for your responses. I could only email pals which I did. Hopefully they will get back. I'm still worried we won't be taken seriously or officials will believe the nurse is justified. I had no other point of contact to complain to, couldn't reach the diabetic team on any number...

It was an extremely stressful day for me and my family yesterday regarding a really horrible abusive phone call from my Childs paediatric diabetic nurse which caused us all a lot of distress. She made threats that she would be dealing with our family the "HARD WAY" from now on and involving...
