[QUOTE="ElyDave, post: 549344, member: 74042"] I definitely think there should at least be the offer of counselling for both newly diagnosed and established diabetics, perhaps an annual allocation to use as part of the overall package. Whilst the people on here are an excellent resource, and the DSNs at Addenbrookes are invaluable, they tend to fall into the camps of dealing with the mechanics of diabetes adn being generally supportive i.e. "you're doing very well" when I'm getting pi$$ed off that I've had one reading today that's gone awry and have no idea why. What the people on here do not do, through no fault of their own, is to help you examine the behaviours and choices you are making and the underlying roots of those adn the interactions with other aspects of your life. To me that's the role of the specialist counsellor [/QUOTE]
