So after going to A&E last week and being told to speak to my own doctor, I finally got word back that my HbA1c was high. I don't know the number as I was told this over the phone. I was then told that I would need to see a diabetic specialist. I then chatted with the receptionist on the phone and she said the earliest appointment to see him was in the middle of March! March! I said that was a no go and basically told her I needed to see someone asap as I felt I was dying, and that BG numbers in the high 20s are seriously bad for my health, she went away came back and managed to get me in today. Now this is where the fun begins. I can almost put money on that it is someone I have not dealt with before, who will look at my notes and say 'Ah, Type 2 - here have some more pills' and I will have to argue and explain that at original diagnosis I was type I adult onset but that isn't in my file for whatever reason. I will have to tell him how awful I feel all the time. I will have to tell him about me bursting into tears because I am so frustrated that I can't even eat an apple without feeling that I need to go for a 10 hour nap.
I forget where I am going with this and it is becoming a rant, as usual from me! I always feel like I am shunned off, even at the hospital 'go home and see your own doc' calling an on call doctor that told me to go to A&E in the first place and no, no doubt a specialist who will tell me to try another pill. :'(
Sorry for the long winded speil! Just need to vent.
