[QUOTE="SKB_9, post: 1576606, member: 426767"] This is great news, I am glad to see you have such a lot of support. I have to say I feel a little disappointed in my own team's approach to managing my diagnosis. I've been diagnosed 4 months and while I can relate to the initial diagnostic appointments and the three intensive 'this is insulin' sessions which were excellent and very positive, I haven't had much since. There has not been a dietician at my clinic (until now, I'm hoping to be referred at my nurse apt next week) and I haven't had any follow up calls from the nurses. I should say I have been repeatedly told I should call them if I have a question but I don't know what I should be asking, I feel like they want something more specific than "I've got T1 diabetes how can I get rid of it" which is on repeat in my head. I'm taking my agreed doses and testing regularly as I've been told but I feel like I've been left to get on with it really. Anyway I don't know what I want from writing this, I guess I just feel a bit sorry for myself. But maybe it's helpful for some newbies to hear that if they aren't getting the full package they aren't alone! Maybe I need to move to Dundee :) [/QUOTE]
