Really you've answered your own question as you said your granddaughter is trying to be a doctor and then at some have to specialise iver as a GP or as a specialist in one field

I know not everyone will agree with me but I think you should be in in a hospital speciality don't get me wrong most for thing gp are great but when you suffer with an illnesses you want to see the best person for the job and GP have to be a master of nothing but have to know little bit...

At least you were told that you are had one has been booked not even entioned by nurse if the surgery is getting extra money for suppling xtra services then the money should on training or extra equipment is needed to supply the service and not somebody's back pocket

Yes Im on metformin I can't imagine the nurses worked on a Saturday for nothing so I don't know what the doctor just couldn't have done it in ordinary time when she seen me

Not had an eye test booked or any information at all nothing to read

Just had my first visit to diabetic nurse and what a waste of time that was blood pressure taken feet looked at told xpert course still none the wiser than I went must admit the doctor could have done that no need to see the nurse no wonder the NHS is running out of money

Thanks everyone for the advice I don't get to do because I was somebody says it's apocracy if you don't bother taking your meds and you can end up in serious trouble with holding cost NHS twice as much to put it right so god knows how much a small meter and a few test strips once a month is...

It a joke because you on eBay and loads of strips available multi packs with long dates my suspicions are raised

Thanks got my free nhs prescription card I didn't know about sd code free

Is metformin blood glucose lowering medication That what the doctor put me on

Doctor won' t give me a self test kit so I don't know if I'm controlling my levels What can i do other than buy my own with I think will be quite expensive for me ?
