Message: <blockquote data-quote="MissMac" data-source="post: 1220412" data-attributes="member: 317361">So..this message comes straight from having been to see the "diabetic" nurse...what a total and utter farce! She read off a transcribe that was, of course, old school NHS rubbish and whilst she said it was refreshing to meet someone who had done the research etc etc still the appointment went on, making me feel like I was being obstructive and rude.  All it contained was the negatives which as a newly diagnosed (maybe just me) I DO NOT need to hear right now.  I've been doing really well, she has just turned a positive day into one that is now filled with grrrrrrrrrrrrr.  My partner is trying to be positive with "but you're ahead of the game" which I know I am but I cannot stand people who do not know what they are talking about, apparently being charged with my health. She made me feel like I might as well just put myself in a coffin now and be done with it as all I am facing is certain death, amputation and blindness...yes maybe that is the way my head took it but even still.I, being a nurse, have always been a lover and steadfast supporter of all things NHS but this....this was just a total waste of my day and I am SO angry. As much as I want the blood tests to see how I am getting on, the rest can go to hell, I don't want to engage with them.Sorry it's a bit ranty and negative I am just SO angry and upset and things have been so good xx</blockquote>
