[QUOTE="James321, post: 1560702, member: 392423"] Thank you for you're time and yes she's had a child psychologist when first diagnosed only to ask her to draw a picture of diabetes, she was coming up sixteen, preparing for her exams and really didn't want to go down the picture route. I have tried and tried gently, quietly, sympatheticly, trying to discuss her position and how she feels only to be screamed at and told in no uncertain terms where to go. As for her team the diabetes nurse has refused to come round for over a year due to the nurse saying its a waste of time and a glorified hello. Does she miss them ? No because her eating habits haven't change from before diagnosed. Is she stressed, yes and in total denial. Siblings yes and they don't have diabetes. I'm sorry to sound negative as this is not me, I'm full of enthusiasm normally, truly believing there will one day be a cure for all suffers with type 1 and 2 but at this precise moment in time life seems like something is hurting my little girl and I can't protect her. I just can't stop it and I feel I should. My wife is a vegetarian caring loving person who is calm and collective where when pushed in a corner I want to come out fighting. I'm doing a sponsor walk next week for diabetes over the London bridges, I will have a grumble all the way and believe we're on the way to winning this battle. Thanks Jim. [/QUOTE]
