[QUOTE="Rosalind13, post: 357228, member: 62483"] I'm appalled by some of the experiences mentioned on this thread. I am a Type 1 diabetic and in 20 years have felt blamed for my failings loads of times. The worst was when I was pregnant and really trying hard with my bloods and a specialist screamed: 'you are damaging your baby!' Take the flu jab (and the free, non diabetic prescriptions) as a strictly optional perk, and don't let anyone make you believe that you're a 'bad diabetic' or that any of it is your fault, even if the figures are not perfect. Surely such blame is predicated on the idea that being good at this is easy? Diabetics are 3x more likely to be clinically depressed so we have to look after our peace of mind as well as the figures. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
