The last one at least, if not the last 2, that I needed, I did not need to do anything - the surgery actually did it on my behalf - saved me looking up the address of the MOH in Warwickshire anyway!
 
Away at present so only just picked up on this thread.
Welcome tot he forum @hallb24 , but sorry you have needed to join us.
So glad that you pushed for appropriate support. It is a lot to take in at the start but you have seen already that there is plenty of support and advice available on here. Your specialist team will now help you to learn how to adjust your insulin doses and sort things out with you.

The decision of the practice nurse was not appropriate as things can develop very quickly with T1, or 1.5, especially as you were already experiencing weight loss. It would be worth a discussion in the future with your GP or the nurse or the practice manager. There is just not enough understanding of the differences in so many surgeries.

Keep in touch and keep asking any questions that you have.
