Asked to be referred to weight loss services, potentially for surgery. Informed that I don't qualify as I'm not Type 2 diabetic or between ages 18-44.
I'm actually in my 50s, Type 1 diabetic with high blood pressure and a BMI of 40. Weight has been a struggle for years despite numerous efforts to lose. Have had counselling, been to slimming clubs, dietetic input, you name it. Can't have weight loss injections. Feel ashamed and embarrased. Asked for help as feeling desperate after trying so many things but now forced into looking for private options. Feeling so disappointed and frustrated. I wonder how much I will cost the NHS in the future with all the weight related issues coming my way
