[QUOTE="Littlefootsy, post: 1268961, member: 294411"] he's getting group DBT therapy - but that's for the anxiety which was there before the diabetes ( no one is sure if the slow development of the daiebtes caused the anxiety or not ) - they don't talk about the diabetes and no one there has it or any other long term illness so they don't understand. the hospital tried to get counselling for long term illness specifically but it was rejected as they said he was already getting support ie the DBT - they don't get it! DBT for anxiety is not the same for dealing with diabetes. So looks like I'll have to help him keep fighting for the specific help - as I think he just needs permission to fell cross and angry with the diabetes and get it off his chest. ie to laugh and cry as suggested by others on this thread.
