I am a young (ish... apparently...) guy who was diagnosed with late on-set type 1 diabetes 2 weeks after my wedding. Initially a shock, however the care, advice, support from the 2 Diabetic Nurse Specialists, Sharon & Lesley (and the medical team) has been amazing. From making sure I was able to go on my honeymoon to Australia, my wife ringing Sharon from Sydney to ask questions about hypo's, to the training, education and support.
More recently (October 2014) a routine appointment with Lesley and a change in night time insulin has resulted in fantastic control. I'm treated with respect, my treatment is always a two way discussion and more importantly diabetes now fits in with my life.
