Nonsense to say NO...you don't have medication...work hard to control your diabetes...one review a year...no foot check...no DSN...FFS...I am determined to keep mine on prescription...hard fought battle with my local CCG...helped several do likewise...on a point of principal my prescription is going nowhere!
Possible she may have taken you off then PM...without officially stating that?...seem to be on exactly the same checks as Mark.
Do you get test strips?
Yep I do Carol...asked my GP...he said he would prescribe them...but my local CCG would intervene...stop him...challenged them...justified my need/use of them...lot of hard work...but...successful...did it on principal...helped several others do the same...don't want to hijack Marks thread...believe every type 2 should have strips & a meter...if you're ever interested in trying...let me know.
Will do.since I will pm you if that's ok
I think it does vary depending on area or GP or DSN. Must admit, I do find it weird that if I'm not on the register, why go for annual blood tests? I think I am still on the register, otherwise, why bother.
If you think about it, the less blood tests you have & the less the GP's & DSN's monitor us, then testing is more important than ever.
Fine Carol...was going to suggest that
Precisely
I believe you will still be on the register...heard that usually marked with a code that implies in remission...but...as you say always will be diabetic...so need that test...bit surprised no further foot checks...I suppose their view would be if your BG is under control...unlikely to have/incur nerve damage.
Saw our surgery DSN once...won't see her anymore...GP checked pulses and so on last week...for goodness sake it just makes you feel they don't want to make any investment in diabetics that manage on Metformin or diet & exercise only...surely prevention...keeping it at bay is so important.
You really have whipped your diabetes into shape and made some fabulous puddings along the way!
