[QUOTE="JenniferW, post: 2087527, member: 191472"] I sometimes go to meetings held by my local Diabetes UK group, and over time, it's working as a way of getting some support. I have a GP practice which is notorious in the area for its lack of support for people with T2 diabetes, and without going to these local group meetings, I'd not have realised it really is a problem - it's not just me. The local meeting yesterday was about the X-pert course (which I did several years ago). Talking about not just that, I commented on the one thing missing - long-term real support and specialist advice that addresses the situations we each have to deal with. The diabetic nurse, for example, knows little or nothing about what I have and haven't done over the 4 years since diagnosis, let alone having knowledge of how other medical conditions affect me. I asked the speaker what sort of support I could get - given how dire my GP practice is and the answer was there's nothing, apart from what's available online! Talk about testing how strong-willed we each are! And Mbaker, I know I'm one of those who's definitely prone to self-destruction! Thanks for coming here and having a groan, Concordjan! [/QUOTE]
