TREATING DIABETICS AS MENTAL ILLNESS!!!

Story from nhs.uk

"TREATING DIABETICS AS MENTAL ILLNESS!!!"

This CMHT are unqualified to treat me who is a properly diagnosed diabetic and not classified as mentally ill. But this CMHT and doctor have no regard for any of my physical medical conditions already diagnosed and being managed by my senior GP. The mental health medications are deliberately fighting with my diabetes management and prescribed medicines, causing my blood sugars with very high readings due the careless so called qualified experienced doctors and nurses incompetence. None of the staff here even listen to their patients and do not actually show they care about the people who are at the forefront receiving end of their ill intentions in thinking mental health medicines are the answers to all the world's problems. According to them, apparently diabetes is a mental illness and not a very serious physical medical debilitating life-long condition. Now, who needs their heads seriously examined and to swap places with us most unfortunate victims of their poorly managed care?
