What Happened to My Diabetes?

[harbottle]

Not everything stops. I am recorded as resolved by I still have at least annual full blood panel and eye screening.

I don't have foot checks, but only ever had one of those anyway. I have never been weighed or measured, so not having that is no different.

Back in 2014 GPs were advised by the government organisation Public Health England to review all patients with 'Diabetes resolved' and recode them as 'Remission' if they'd got levels back to normal by surgery, islet transplant, or weight loss (And any other intevention). The reason for this was because patients with 'resolved' were no longer on the retinal screening lists but there were still risk of damage (New evidence came to light.)

This was driven by a paper written by academics from the retinal screening program who were concerned that people with this code were not getting screened as they had been removed from 'the register'

The Remission code was actually introduce to replace the 'Resolved' code for this reason.

I'm still listed as respolved:

Maybe your GP didn’t get the memo.
