Absolutely. One of the most annoying things is when you have a question and it is dismissed and you are made to feel small and stupid. Or someone trying to convince you of something that you know doesn't work for you. Doesn't happen with my current consultant I must add! 🙂

i just dont feel like they don't really make an effort to make me feel comfortable enough to talk to them about any issues i might have, and tbf, i do have a lot of issues! but then again, i just have issues with hospitals.
 
Hey Scared, you are so welcome to have a moan about anything on here, the mission, if you chose to accept it, is find something the rest of us havent moaned about rofl!! Before you mentioned parents I thought you were my daughter!! She is 24 and had hated being diabetic since she was born. I was born with diabetes like she was 46 years ago and for the first 30 years I hated it too. I was the one and only in my family and I have 26 first cousins and the only person to have it was me. I really hated not having anyone to tell things to and have them understand. I came to terms with it more when I had kids as my diabetes had to be spot on for the childrens sake but I still hated it. Then I was diagnosed with retinopathy and my eyesight is the thing that I most value and so it gave me a jolt and I pulled myself into line. I still have people look at me as though I have just admitted to killing small furry animals if I reach for a cake or chocolate at parties but I generally stick my tongue out and say that it's on my diet sheet!!! Ok that's a small white fib but with good control you can generally eat a very healthy diet and then break out once in a while but monitor your blood to make sure you have enough insulin. What I am trying to say is that, once you decide that you are going to control your diabetes, it stops controlling you and you can come to terms with it. And if not you can come in here and let rip for a while lol I think that the group is meeting up soon so if it is near you try to go and make some diabetic friends x
 
ahh thank you 🙂 it means a lot that i have somewhere to rant away!

Definitely, it's taken me 8 years to find some one who doesn't treat me like an idiot, and someone who I can talk to and they will understand. You really need to keep looking for someone new that you can see until you find the right one and then stick to them!
 
Hi Sacred girl, welcome.🙂 Interesting name.

I have found little help over the years with other health problems, but we have a new Dr at the surgery,and he has transformed my life this year. He listens and reacts. He found my diabetes whilst looking at other problems.

It is such a welcome to find someone who listens. Keep trying with your Doc, and if eventually your still not happy, change to someone else. I wish I had years ago.
 
Yeah i guess i just dont feel comfortable with anything medical though ha. most of all hospitals, so the idea of going to a new one kinda scares me a little. wimpish, i know! ha. thanks for the advice though 🙂 x
