[QUOTE="Bebo321, post: 917690, member: 68730"] Let's hope so [USER=74257]@graj0[/USER] - it will be interesting to hear what experience those who have recently been diagnosed have had. Personally, I think social media - forums like this, facebook, twitter etc has been hugely beneficial in changing attitudes and behaviours - informing and empowering those with diabetes along with influencing the shape of treatment given by healthcare professionals (and there are some excellent HCPs out there). There is still a lot of dogma to be swept away though and a lot of unfortunates out there who don't have the curiosity to question what they are told - I cringe to hear what you experienced on diagnosis! Hopefully it will be an enlightening chat. Make sure you join in! :) [/QUOTE]
