[QUOTE="ann34+, post: 1619115, member: 94348"] I agree to an extent, but many things are now more difficult to access now, (i have had several periods where getting test strips has become difficult) and this applies to other conditions also, at least in my experience. Also there is not, again only in my experience, the time/staff available to talk problems through - i think the GP/surgery is now meant to take on a lot of what was previously hospital's work, but they are often under pressure. Years ago when i needed help re diabetes, which was not very often, i just turned up at the hospital diabetic dept , there was a room with a number of nurses in, available to help or talk, and a number of fellow patients, who may have also dropped in, with whom i could talk to also, and make a sandwich/drink with in the communal kitchen. Of course there was no internet then, and no forums.... [/QUOTE]
