[QUOTE="chloebeth, post: 1143597, member: 294813"] When my partner was diagnosed, she was sent to the hospital by our GP due to +++ ketones and high BM's up to 30. They sent her home with metformin even though she was quite poorly at this point. She has only had one follow up appt with the hospital and discharged despite being moved onto insulin within 9 months. The care she has received has been really poor, she's had little input into how to calculate how much insulin is needed and it is mostly guess work - luckily I have some medical training but this isnt enough. Not one medical professional has given any support in terms of what to eat/diet control or exercise and little input into medication. She gets a phonecall from the DSN once in a blue moon, I totally understand your frustrations! [/QUOTE]
