[QUOTE="Blubee, post: 930912, member: 77868"] I have to agree. I have just had a long awaited operation cancelled because my GP had stopped my diabetes meds and left me with nothing. If I had known that my op was in jeopardy I would have gone straight back and asked for different meds. You cant ask for something you dont know you need can you? I struggled with metformin as it made me really ill. I took it for several months despite the gastritis and diarrhea but when he finally agreed it wasnt working for me he said to come back in 3 months (after my proposed op ) and he would start me on something else. The consultant was baffled as to why he didnt offer me anything when he knew I was to have an operation. Maybe it is that GPs are not specialists in any field but I feel terribly let down. I now have to wait months in pain to see if I can have my operation. My bs was not that bad to begin with I might add, 6/7 in the morning, but surgeons are not prepared to take the risk of infection if you are not on meds. I'm fed up with it all. [/QUOTE]
