Welcome to The Patient Experience – a new kind of patient forum

The Patient Experience is a set of discussion forums where patients connect, express their views and share valuable experiences on the subjects of medicine and healthcare. The forums are FREE and open to all.

The forums allow you to interact with other people in your situation and share information and experiences. Thus helping you on your journey through your or a loved one’s medical problems and challenges.

Diabetes Blog

Lifestyle and Diabetes – tell us more about your experiences.

We are interested in both adult and childhood onset diabetes. So the opinions of carers of a diabetic would be very useful.
The aim of the blog is to identify the key lifestyle issues for diabetics.The kinds of questions we are particularly interested in are:-

  • How do you best manage your condition? What type of medication are you on? What kind of testing equipment and meters do you use and what is your opinion of it?
  • Do you think your condition is being sufficiently managed by your healthcare team?
  • Do you follow any specific dietary or lifestyle requirements?
  • How has your condition changed your outlook on life?
  • What special arrangement do you have to make when you travel for work or pleasure?

Of course we would appreciate any comments you might have on the diabetic lifestyle as all your thoughts are of interest and value to us.
To contribute all you need to do is type a nickname of your choice and the put your comments in the comment box.
