Hi everyone,
I hope you’re all okay. I just felt like coming on here today as I had my first face to face diabetic review since covid which I was actually looking forward to, to properly see them. (I’ve had appointments but they’ve been on video chat and they didn’t manage to get my meter readings).
Anyway, today turned out to be fairly negative.. I saw a nurse who I don’t usually see, and she didn’t listen to anything I was saying and basically said that I was doing a bad job (not in so many words). I just found it really upsetting as it’s only the last two weeks that I’ve let things slip slightly, I’m normally pretty good with my control and she clearly didn’t believe me when I was explaining, either they or she wasn’t listening, and tried to make adjustments to my doses that weren’t necessary.
Sorry to rant, I just wanted to get it off my mind, I’ve been feeling so down about my control since then, just really discouraged.. I know it’s not even a big thing, it’s just lots of things build up sometimes don’t they? And diabetes is hard sometimes!
Thanks for listening, hope your day is going better x
