[QUOTE="evilclive, post: 1992445, member: 488171"] Who have you asked, and when? If you're in the UK, there are loads of good people out there who can and will help you - without waiting. If your GP won't help, change GP. Call the diabetes team at your local big hospital, ask how to get a DSN appointment, and don't take no for an answer. Have the appointment, arrange a treatment plan, arrange follow up appointments and go to them. It is possible to look after diabetes without much outside help if you work at it. Testing is vital - lots of it. 6+ tests a day, and adjusting doses based on what you eat, what you do and what the tests tell you. But it's not something you can just relax at - T1 diabetes can change daily, so needs constant vigilance. This stuff is important. You can get away with not very much for a while, but at some point it's very likely to go wrong, either from something like DKA, or complications from running high sugars for too long. If on the other hand you look after it, a lot of the problems can be undone. [/QUOTE]
