[QUOTE="Scoop4, post: 312902, member: 44904"] I have often wondered over the years if I have a bad diabetic nurse or not. I think the problems I have with her are that the ideas she has about my condition and treatment are just not the same as mine. I have banged heads with her and have ranted to my family about the way she has treated me and what she suggest I do about any problems I am having but after 17 years of living with my condition and 44 years of understanding how my body works I think I should be the one who decides how to go forward with my treatment. I think diabetic should be given the options and let them decide what to do instead of puzzled looks when I suggest something or the way she says "I've never heard of that happening before" when I tell her about some experience I have had. The thing is every diabetic is different and we should be treated like individuals and they should take our experience on board the DSN's should use us to expand their knowledge I think it would help all diabetics. I have learnt a lot from these forums and good or bad experiences I feel better when I read someone has had the same experience as me or someone has a problem they want to share. DSN dont understand diabetes to us is not just a medical condition to us it is very personal and part of us. [/QUOTE]
