[QUOTE="CherryAA, post: 1454118, member: 327005"] I' not sure I agree. of course giving people the basics is hugely important, but also hearing messages from others saying yes it can be sorted is immensely reassuring. i know when I first joined reading the stuff from [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] gave me real hope - the fact that I couldn't necessarily follow what he was saying yet did not stop it from being immensely reassuring that other people out there seemed to know what they were talking about and had had success - so whilst I had suddenly found myself in a scary place - it was one I could see an escape route immediately and if one has been faced with the " -its incurable - insulin is your lot and amputation will follow - that was a huge relief to know. I could look back later on what was said and gradually sort it all out, but just like then one woman in the trial - showed me it could be done, so did [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] and I am very grateful for that, because it was immediate personalised attention to my specific problem from someone who had been there , done that and got the t-shirt ! I didn't mind the fact that I wasn't that clear on it all at that point - at least someone knew something and it was a real person with my actual problem - that was hugely reassuring! [/QUOTE]
