[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 1976287"] Hello, while making it clear that I have no problem with my post being removed, I’d also like to respectfully suggest that you may see things through a slightly different lens if you yourself had been given disasterous, dangerous and life threatening advice by someone asserting themselves as an expert. We see and hear this all day every day, so it’s of little surprise that some of us can get a little emotional about it. Many type 2 diabetics are sent away with no advice whatsoever except on how to endanger themselves while being made to feel fat & stupid. Most are proactively told not to monitor their own blood glucose, while eating more of what caused their condition. This can and does contribute to serious complications and ultimately early death. Irrespective of the guidelines that nurses must adhere to, I’m sure that on reflection you’ll agree this is a very unpalatable situation that upsets many of us. It’s not just about your experiences or the availablity of the treatment that you need. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
