I am getting so bored of these monthly visits to see the specialist.....

Does anyone else get seen as much as me ? Every four weeks!!

I would have thought by now they would leave me alone for a few months

Diagnosed April 08
Lost 3 stone
Cholestral 4.1
Last HbA1c 6.4 (has been as low as 5.4)

& I think it is official I have no blood left for them to take and test...lol 😛
 
Hello Di goodness me that is alot aint it lol, im seen every 4 month never mind weeks , hope it all goes ok tomorrow , btw you have done so so well hun all that you have done since 08 is highly commendable x
 
I haven't seen a diabetes specialist yet and it's been four months!
 
wht is happening in these monthy meets??HbA1c only valid every 3months...and woow well done on weight loss xxxx
 
I get seen every 6 months, and even at diagnosis wasn't seen that often. Like Am I am also interested in what happens at these appointments, particulary as you only recently went onto insulin.
 
SInce 2006 I have seen one DSN and that was the lot. I wish my GP would send me to a specialist. At the moment I'd go every day if I had to just to see someone with some sense!
 
Do they actually do an HbA1c every month? If so, that's pretty pointless 😱
 
I feel very depressed now

Hi Guys,

Yes they do HbA1C every month pre christmas was 6.4 now 6.2
Cholestral now 3.9


But the sad thing is my fertility treatment is not working - now being refered for IVF. Not sure how I feel about this as I'm not sure how much more disappointments I can cope with. But then again I have come this far........
Think I need a good old cry :(

Hi Di good news the hbA gone down for you xx
Sorry to hear your treatment is not working my sister had to go through this and found it very difficult to cope her and her partner would blame each other.Now though she has gone on to have 2 children since , I do think it is something you are very passionate about so stick with it you will have these bad days but we will support you as best we can *hugs* x x
 
Di stick with the fertility treatment. I know it is a pain now, but you will be rewarded with wonderful children. My aunt was never able to have children and in her youth there was no such thing as fertility treatment. All her neices and nephews were spoilt by her as we grew up as we were her substitute children. I hope you are lucky and when the time is right you will be sharing the good news with us!
 
BIG HUGS

sorry to hear you are going to have to have IVF. I hope the waiting list is not too long in your area. The end result will be worth all the effort.

Well done on the Hba1c

Rachel
 
Thanks for your kind words.

I do feel very sad - think it is bad as I had 2 miscarrages in 07 & now it all just feels so final not being able to have children naturally. (I've just cried again - I'm like an old leaking bucket today :confused:)

something which will put a smile on your face thou is - on Saturday I went to buy a new car - my thinking was sensible 5 door for future little people etc and when I went looking I feel in love with a Seat 3 dr sports coupe in citrus yellow. I threw all caution to the wind and justified in my head I could be waiting a long time so I bought it!!

It is fantastic I might add.

& I suppose even if I do eventually manage to have children or if not my own adopt my husband has got a sensible 5 dr car...lol x 🙂
