[QUOTE="lizdeluz, post: 525444, member: 32108"] [FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=4][B]There's maybe no need to keep quiet for fear of depressing people. After all, what happened to you could happen to anyone: any one of us could come across a doctor or HCP who says the wrong thing - they're fallible like the rest of us - and we need to be wary and consider carefully what we're told by them. A young person, though, can't see this as easily as an adult can. You were only 13 and you've done so well to deal with that negative (understatement!) message from your consultant. I think I can understand what you're saying though. A lot of stuff:- deep-seated wounds and worries connected to diabetes - remains unsaid. A stiff upper lip, being 100% positive at all times, this is a kind of unwritten law.[/B] [B][/B] [B]I was 29 when diagnosed type 1 and already a mum, but I still felt vulnerable. I've met only kindness and high professional standards from the various teams that have treated me over 30 years. That's probably the case for the majority of us with diabetes, but that doesn't mean that we can't empathise with you and others who have had a bad deal at times.
