RT @shootinstarslou: I like the ideas of my HCPs being involved in all aspects of my diabetes management. Could help to educate them as well! #OzDOC

Okay, final question for the night! Q6. Tips for newbies seeking out peer support? #OzDOC
Dr Ashley Ng @HangryPancreas
I’m stealing @RenzaS’s brilliant quote here “find your tribe and love them hard!” #OzDOC https://t.co/r2HZiXCg7w

@RenzaS @Health4Diabetes @FrankSita @Yoga4diabetes You are awesome and admired greatly. Be you. Don't overthink it ;) #OzDOC

A6 find your tribe! #OzDOC

@Health4Diabetes Not my quote-just one I use when applicable. #OzDOC

@OzDiabetesOC Sometimes just finding the cahunas to ask is the biggest thing #OzDOC

A6. You don't have to love everyone. And it's okay if you don't! #OzDOC

@RenzaS Hang on, @grumpy_pumper, no kidnapping allowed. She stays. #OzDOC
Renza / Diabetogenic @RenzaS
A6. Also, be open to meeting new people. One of my first DOC meet ups was in NYC with a group of women I'd only met on twitter. #OzDOC

@OzDiabetesOC again, it depends on the HCP. I have an amazing endo, and would be happy for her to run a group, but not many others. #OzDOC

@fred_bear I find it interesting that even though I am not a PWD I get amazing support from the wonderful people in this group #OzDOC
Dr Ashley Ng @HangryPancreas
@Morecapsicum @fred_bear Cos you’re awesome type 3 yo! And you tell good funny stories. #OzDOC

Alright friends, we’ve had an amazing and insightful chat tonight, but it’s time for some closing thoughts :) #OzDOC

@RenzaS Were you nervous going to a meet up in a different country with people you’d never met in real life? #OzDOC
The Practical Diabetic (Leon Tribe) @PracticalDeeb
Surround yourself with people who make you feel good and who support you. Life is too short for compromise #OzDOC
Ming @endoman
@Sophie_Non_Beta @OzDiabetesOC Indeed, HCPs come in a variety of flavours! #OzDOC
Sophie Non-Beta @Sophie_Non_Beta
@endoman I couldn't agree more! #OzDOC
Renza / Diabetogenic @RenzaS
@Health4Diabetes Not at all. Although when I told my mum where I was going she said 'Right. So this could be the last time I ever speak with you...' #OzDOC
Dr Ashley Ng @HangryPancreas
@RenzaS Haha! I would have that reaction too as a mum I think! #OzDOC
Renza / Diabetogenic @RenzaS
@dr_kevinlee @FrankSita @Health4Diabetes I have frequently held back from saying what I'm doing if HCPs are known to be judgey...#OzDOC

Great chat, Ash. Always lovely to think of my far-flung friends I've met online. And those closer to home. #OzDOC

@OzDiabetesOC Thank you @Health4Diabetes on a wonderful chat. Soz for being late #OzDOC
Dr KL @dr_kevinlee
If I was a peer, I would prefer peer-led, I think it's far to complex for #hcp to lead given restrictions that come with ahpra etc #ozdoc https://t.co/4q6uUREOFZ
Dr Ashley Ng @HangryPancreas
@Morecapsicum @OzDiabetesOC No dramas :) Thanks for dropping by with special guest @Sophie_Non_Beta! #OzDOC
The Practical Diabetic (Leon Tribe) @PracticalDeeb
@Health4Diabetes @fred_bear Great #ozdoc chat Ashley. Thank you :)
Dr Ashley Ng @HangryPancreas
@dr_kevinlee What are the restrictions with AHPRA that prevent HCP-led support groups? #OzDOC

@Health4Diabetes @fred_bear More often than not I just think they are funny #OzDOC
Louise Stephen @LouiseStephen9
RT @OzDiabetesOC: Interesting! Many seem to prefer a peer-led support compared to HCP. What if the lead HCP is also a PWD? Would that change things? #ozDOC
Dr Ashley Ng @HangryPancreas
@FrankSita See you all soon :) #OzDOC

@Health4Diabetes @OzDiabetesOC @Sophie_Non_Beta I almost #Ozdoc more than her these days 😁😁😁
Dr KL @dr_kevinlee
@RenzaS @FrankSita @Health4Diabetes Hence, imho difficult for hcp to lead peer support discussions, there r restrictions eg ahpra #ozdoc
Dr Ashley Ng @HangryPancreas
@dr_kevinlee Could you pre-empt it by saying no stating of HCP names etc.? I know some groups that do this. #OzDOC
Sophie Non-Beta @Sophie_Non_Beta
@Health4Diabetes @Morecapsicum @OzDiabetesOC So nice to be in the room with the #OzDOC crew! Such a treat. #dlove to you all!
