[QUOTE="leahkian, post: 1635066, member: 32193"] Another thing is that diabetes is always changing with research, types of diabetes, new insulin and better insulin pumps. I remember when i was young seeing the first insulin pump, it was the size of a dinning room table nothing like today. When you read the papers it got this is bad for you or you should eat this, but different foods, weather and stress can effect our BS levels. I know my consultant is trying to develop inslet transplants to have them last longer, which is why i trust him with my life he has so much passion at trying to help diabetes move forward, when i had my SPK i seen him on the transplant ward at 10 pm and i new he had been in clinic all day. I was at the transplant center for a check up 2 weeks ago and was moaning about sometimes not being able to watch my son play football and he told me that he has missed a lot of his children growing up as he had been doing transplants at all times of the day and night. Then i thought they are 2 men who give up so much to help people like us and without them where would we be and i know that they have both been offered jobs else ware in the world but chose to stay here in our failing NHS because thats why they became doctors. Yes sometimes we get a consultant who thinks that you are just a number but when i was in having my transplant i had a fellowship doctor from Nigerea who was 6f plus and the size of the door but always had a smile on his face and in the end he was my best mate in hospital and seeing his smile even when he was taking blood just made me smile. He was always there if i did not understand something and he always got a canula in first time, now that's a good doctor. [/QUOTE]
