My wife has recently obtained her medical notes that includes a document entitled 'chronic disease management.'

My wife is diabetic.
There is a table with the following heading, 'item for review'.

The four entries in this column are
DAR
DNR
HBA1/ BS LFTs Tot chol
BP - hypertension.

We would like clarification of what DNR means in this context.
 
Are they differentiated - what I'm getting at here is, is that a complete list of all the things you might have to review, but only some would actually apply to her?
 
Dnr to me means do not resuscitate, you would need to ask the people who wrote the notes not a group of strangers on a forum... IMHO

Hope you get to the bottom of it anyway
And welcome to the forum.

It was me who suggested it Steff 🙂 Quite often people have had similar stuff. Actually, in light of what Steff suggested (and from doing a search on the internet!) the most obvious candidate is 'Do Not Resuscitate', which I would imagine has to be included within your medical notes and would not be something decided by the doctor, but by the patient themselves (if that is what it stands for in this context).

Welcome to the forum 🙂

I'd check with the doctor as our health is too important to speculate over. It is probably something quite simple, but to ease the worry ask the doctor.
 
I think that DNR probably means "Date Next Review" in this context.
 
Crikey a bit of a difference in our interpretation from Date Next Review to Do Not Resucitate:D

I would ask the GP for clarification as for how much we are trying to help they will know for definite🙂
 
diabetic neuropathy ?
