[QUOTE="smaynard, post: 337255, member: 26686"] Cuttsy, very valid point....I agree that all diabetics would benefit from more support from experts, nurses, etc. etc. If the government was to decide to scrap DLA and direct all the money paid to worthy recipients (not to mention the exceptional costs it must waste in the extraordinarily poor administration) into offering better professional support, ensuring everyone had access to the latest technological advancements and the necessary training to make optimal use of them I'd be cheering Hallelujah....probably along with the rest of those impacted by this exceptionally challenging life long condition! However, in my experience and, if the posts on this and other forums are anything to go by it is also the experience of the vast majority of others, sadly this support is currently not there. If you point is that money would be better spent ensuring it is, we are in total agreement. In the meantime, it is up to the individual (or in the case of minors their parents) to fulfill this role..... time, for most of us, is a big contributing factor to income. [/QUOTE]
