[QUOTE="Pinkerbell, post: 544749, member: 64730"] It's not the treatment that concerns me so much as attitudes and support. I do feel well pretty well looked after by the specialist teams at my local hospital and GP surgery, with the exception of the nutritionist who told me she couldn't give me any advice until I was on insulin. My main gripe is with some non specialist health professionals, who look at me incredulously when I state that I am type one, but not yet on insulin. I've been told it's 'impossible' and am occasionally made to feel as if I'm stupid, lying or both! I think it's possible that if more diagnoses were made, it might raise awareness of this condition. The possibility that I might one day encounter a health professional with that attitude whilst not in fit state to explain my condition is a bit scary. [/QUOTE]
