[QUOTE="kareng236, post: 199135, member: 32302"] Hello Maria, I just wanted to say hello and offer my few words of encouragement. I was diagnosed formally at the turn of the year. I too was expecting it as both my parents were diabetic - but I was surprised at my reaction. It totally floored me. I cried for several days. It was a mixture of emotions. I was sorry for me , but I was even sorrier for my parents. Things were not so advanced for them. It was a really awful time for a couple of weeks. You too will be feeling very low with shock and being overwhelmed by it all - but don't let that hateful GP make you feel even worse. Within about three or four months I would imagine that you will have seen several professionals. You should be referred to a Diabetic Clinic at your local hospital. They will keep tabs on you. Also you will probably see someone for eye-screening again at the hospital. In my case the Practice nurse checked out my feet. There is a course called DESMOND which your GP should offer you, It is a 9.30 - 4.30 day course which is informal and really helpful. You will begin to feel a bit happier as you learn how to take control of your condition. This forum is brilliant - none of us have to feel alone. Doctors may read the latest journals or articles, but like everything in life - it is one thing to know the theory about something and quite another to experience it. I will be interested to see what Dougie22 receives as a reply as I am not happy with my GP's attitude. Money and budgets seem to rule her judgement on treatment and that scares me. I hope we all manage to find more understanding GPs. All best wishes Maria. Let us know how you get on. [/QUOTE]
