| hi everyone,
i live in north wales
i was diagnosed last may and treated for type two, once i was on metformin my gp told me i didnt need to test more than once a day (just random times)
then in october they finally decided i'm actually type 1.5 and need insulin.
since then the attitude is very different, i can order what i want pretty much when i want it. i only live up the road from the surgery and the chemist so i usually request two pots at a time with no problems. i test between 4 to 6 times a day dependent on my activity or illness levels
getting emergency appointments are no problem, but waiting for general appoinments or clinic appointments takes a while longer.
i still havent seen the retinologist since i was diagnosed ~ i took myself for a free eye test for glasses while i wait lol
in general i cant complain because the healthcare team listen to what i want and because i'm a sensible gal they allow me to treat as and how i want.
i'm sorry for you guys that dont get the same level of care from your teams.
isnt there a diabetes care charter? or was i dreaming?  |
