[QUOTE="Rebecca.., post: 273766, member: 44047"] Hi, I was diagnosed with type 1 in March this year, which came as a complete shock. I am 20 years old and am coping really well with everything. Since being diagnosed, i have completely lost all faith in medical staff! I have been attending a diabetes clinic and often see different doctors, nurses, dietician etc. I have lost count of the times i have attended this clinic and everytime i go i can't help but feel like it was a complete waste of time. I had a bad experience with one of the doctors who treat me like a child and was very patronising and opionated and since then i do not like going. I am supposed to be attending a young peoples clinic soon where a doctor and dietician will be present as well as other diabetics and then i have an appoitment the following tuesday to see a dietician. I work full time and find these appointments are a huge inconvenience. I wouldnt mind if i felt like there was a good reason why i was attending them. Is it absolutely necessary to attend them? I know i am quite new to all this so is that why i have to go so often? Sorry for moaning! :lol: [/QUOTE]
