[QUOTE="ConradJ, post: 528557, member: 66676"] Hi Reece, It's late in the day, but I hope you see my post: [LIST=1] [*]YOU ARE NOT LAZY, YOU HAVE TYPE 1 DIABETES AND HAVE HAD IT FOR FOURTEEN YEARS!!! [*]YOU ARE, THEREFORE, A VULNERABLE, YOUNG ADULT NEEDING SUPPORT WITH A COMPLEX DISABILITY! [*]The feelings you describe sound like you may be suffering from Diabetes Burnout: [url]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/emotions/diabetes-burnout.html[/url] [*]Your consultant sees you what, once/twice a year for 30-60 minutes a time? He/she has absolutely [B][U]no understanding[/U][/B] of what it is to be diabetic unless they also have diabetes! [*]Go to your appointment, tell them how you've been struggling and ask them for help - they have a clinical duty to support you! [*]Do tell us how things went - if it doesn't go well, I'll be able to point you in the direction of people who can assist you with keeping your pump and/or getting support. [/LIST] Good luck with tomorrow - and with managing your diabetes (it took me 36 years to finally accept and realise what that meant), and do keep posting! With very best wishes, Conrad [/QUOTE]
