Went to clinic yesterday and they want us to go back in 2 weeks to see the psychologist.
The DSN seems to think K is in denial or something because she prefers to inject in her right arm and has made it sore. (I explained that this is because K says everywhere else hurts too much and I think she needs to be shown again how to inject. When K was Dx she was about 10 kilos lighter than she is now and had no layer of fat - she had very little problem injecting in hers arms or legs then but will not inject in her tummy.) Also K has felt hypo a couple of times at her new school but has not tested, just had her dextrose tablets and snack and carried on with the day.
K does not want to see the psychologist and is very cross as she has taken it as an insult- ' it's like she's saying I cant talk to my Mum about it' (bless).
I just want someone to help her with her injections so I dont mind going back again - i will try to make sure someone does show her again how and where to inject - but i know K will now worry about it for 2 weeks and that wont help her stress levels.
has anyone else seen a psychologist ?
