Feeling low

Lorraine your lucky to get to see the team so soon. I found out I was Type 2 in Oct 2013.While I have seen nurses and Docs for tests its only on this Friday do I get to see the 'specialists' at the district hospital. I think they are facing a huge raise and are finding it hard to cope. But there is light at the end of the tunnel and you'll feel better in time. We've all been there and while it can feel like a life sentence it isn't.

Things can get better and do if your willing to try. It's not the end of the world and with a few simple changes in life style you can see a brighter future. Best of luck,

STG.
 
will do , I might get into the charity thing , with work and family don't have much else in my life , might give me a direction to go in .
 
I haven't seen anyone at the hospital yet its just the specialist nurse at the drs who is going to point me in the right direction for hospital appointments, not sure how long they will take
I agree with you about Diabetes on the rise and about life style changes xx
 
I think its a question of where you live , seen the nurse twice and a dietician and a doctor and got 2 more appointments lined up,
Been put forward for the Daphne course , and been shown an app that tells you how much carbs in a meal and food so you can work out your insulin .
 
Drs nowadays have targets to achieve to get their diabetic patients educated on food....

If anybody is unsure about foods etc then gp's do actually have targets to achieve on sending diabetics on coursss such as dafne.. Same as flu jabs etc..they have targets for everything nowadays to keep their funding basically.

Anybody intersted in helping the patients of their gp's should consider joing their patient participation groups that they have to have.
