[QUOTE="Hannibalvolvo, post: 815623, member: 172051"] Hi,I am new to the site and interested to read of other people's experiences. I have had type 1 for over 30 years and have worked in the NHS and as a lawyer in the field of medical negligence. A few years ago, I had a pretty big heart attack which slowed me down a bit and I we well remember virtually every doctor in hospital assuming that I had type 2 and was a smoker! So, don't assume that the average medic has any particular interest in you unless you stand up for yourself and make him/her listen - and that's not always easy! My one simple piece of advice to anyone having problems with getting hold of drugs/supplies is to politely ask why IN WRITING! Forget email or telephone, a nice written reply from the surgery on their headed paper gives you a big advantage if they are in the wrong... [/QUOTE]
