Hello!
I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in October 2014 and since my diagnosis I feel I have had very little and inadequate support to manage my condition.
Over the last 3-4 years I have self taught myself everything to do with managing my condition and carb counting etc but I'm not 100% I'm doing it right. My bloods are all over the place.
I have had the same diabetic nurse (who I see every 3 months) and my consultant (who I see every 12) but I don't feel like they listen to my concerns...
Over the last 6 months I have been really struggling and deflated about dealing with this on my own for so long. It feels like such a burden and it's making me care less about my bloods. (I said this to my nurse today but I wasn't taken seriously).
Do others feel like they're not getting enough help? Who do I raise my concerns with?
Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers
Josh
