Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted Account" data-source="post: 1507913">There is a lot of information to take in but if I was to suggest any specific questions it would be to go through activities that I do regularly (things you have to do and things you enjoy doing) and ask how they would be impacted by having diabetes and how to manage them. Everything from driving to going to the gym to travel (especially important this time of year when we are all going on our summer holidays) to playing with your kids to sleeping to whatever your job is.My other advice is, if possible, take someone else along with you. I am steadfastly independent to the extent that I would rather walk home in the rain that phone my partner to give me a lift home. However, my first diabetes appointment was one of the very few times I have asked for assistance and been incredibly grateful. At a time where I was feeling very emotional and getting loads of information thrown at me, there was someone else listening and taking it all in so I could discuss it with them later.</blockquote>
