HI guys ,
im off to the docs today , following a discussion i had with nhs direct friday gone they have advised me that my doctors surgery have treated me very badly ,i was diagnosed 12th of feb and so far all i have been given is the little machine to take my bloods and i have had appt through for retina test on the 9th of march a flu jab and a smear , the nurse on the phone said by now i should have at least an appointment for a dietician and a diabetics liasion officer or diebetic nurse i have neither , she said i should not be trying to control a diet on my own when i have no clue what im doing ,Also she told me i should not be taking my bloods 3 times a day which is what i was told she said my fingers must be so sore which they where i now only do it morning and evening,i said to her i have no idea of any of the symptoms of going hi or low and that i had joined this website and had learnt more from you guys then i had my own GP etc etc, Now im nervous today because i dont know how it's going to go .It just seems like my gp diagnosed me and has left me to it , am i doing the right thing by going to the gp today and sorting it out ?
thanks steff
