Too nice to tell him
We transferred here when Lattice Barn closed. My husband has had a diagnosis of diabetes for some years and he was only recently told unequivocally that it was important for him to lose weight. He had never been told that directly before and it did have an impact. Previously it was almost as if clinicians were too nice to tell him outright. Also, when I accompany him to appointments his diabetes often isn't taken into consideration when he presents for other issues-this must waste resource. Finally he went the diabetes training (DEBRA) last week but only after I had asked about it. He found it very helpful and it is a shame he didn't go years ago.
