[QUOTE="Otenba, post: 225224, member: 38397"] Considering you have been put on steroids, my poor late Granddad (who was Type 2) really struggled with his bloods after being put on some, and so I would imagine that you need extra assistance whatever way you look at it. My heart really goes out to you at this time... and I'm wondering if it's worth you getting in contact with your local PALs to work through this neglect. It is absolutely disgusting that you were treated that way. I just had a look and I'm having trouble finding any offices in Scotland though... there must be a different name they're under for your area. :( If worse comes to worse, perhaps ask for a complaints form at your GP or hospital (whichever that call involved). If you find that you have to do a lot of work alone with your condition often, it may be worth looking at seeing if a course called DAFNE is available for you to do. Doing that course and having the DAFNE guidebook may one of those help boosts you need. I'm a graduate of DAFNE myself and I highly recommend it. Considering your diabetes team are not the most helpful, here are the DAFNE contact details so you can go direct for information: DAFNE Central Office is: Northumbria Healthcare NHS Trust, Rake Lane, North Shields, Tyne and Wear NE29 8NH, UK Phone: 0191 293 4115 Fax: 0191 293 4276 Best of luck with getting this mess all sorted out.
