Hey All,
I'm feeling rather frustrated and just really down.
I really don't feel like I'm getting the support I need from my 'medical' team.
I have only ever seen a doctor about my diabetes, and have only seen him once since diagnosed (last time I saw him was Nov!) and that was for him to tell me information I already knew (from reading) and to check my feet. I have never seen a DSN (and I'm not sure there is even on at my GP surgery).
I've had eye screening and have seen a dietician once (I'm off to see her again a week today). However the advice she gave (albeit helpful, doesn't seem to be fully about diabetes).
Should I be seeing someone more regularly? Oh, and I also don't even know my HB1AC, should I have been told this?
Sorry, I just needed to rant - I feel well and truly miserable about the whole situation over the last few weeks.
Thanks for reading.
