Hi all. I hope everyone is feeling positive for this year!
I have type 1 diabetes, diagnosed March 2020 at 53 years old. I'm managing it really well, although do have plenty 'why me' moments etc.
The diabetes team here are keen for me to enrol in their online education program on Microsoft Teams. The problem is that I am self employed business piece working on site with another of the directors, and it's very hard to take time out as it badly affects income. The course is 2 days per week, 3 hours each day, for 4 weeks, so it's quite a commitment.
Because I haven't responded to the invite they have sent a letter to my GP saying I've rejected this training, and it's made me feel like they maybe don't think I'm bothered.
Has anybody undertaken the training, and are there benefits for someone who is keeping well within range, with only very occasional blips, and has good awareness of impending hypos etc?
Not sure what to do right now and would appreciate any input.
Thank you
