[QUOTE="KateF, post: 340883, member: 46956"] [b]Re: New-ish to Type 1 & struggling with control, advice need[/b] Are you managing to carry out your testing? Make a big fuss about the therapy. Ask to get an appointment with your consultant (you should be seeing a consultant as a T1) and tell them that you are not injecting properly etc etc. Point out that you really need the help and that you need is urgent. Maybe even try and contact the psychology services and explain to them. Ask the consultant to help you accelerate this referral and maybe your GP too. Consider writing to the Chair of the PCT and maybe your MP about the wait if this does not get you anywhere, citing the risk of developing complications etc. My husband was diagnosed as LADA and referred for urgent therapy for his needle phobia. It took months and only came through when I told the consultant I was going to write to the above, plus the local papers, plus Diabetes UK and anyone else I could think of. Suddenly there was a noticeable increase in the level of action and we got an appt through within a few weeks. [/QUOTE]
