[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 809541, member: 17713"] You need to tell the receptionist that you have glucose levels that indicate that you are likely to have DKA and that to avoid an unplanned A&e admittance that you would very much appreciate having an urgent appointment with a GP. Our Receptionists asks questions solely to see if you are an emergency and to direct you to either a nurse, a nurse practitioner or GP. NHS England have given the go ahead for our Receptionists to direct calls to a Nurse Practitioner if a GP is not available. so if you can only get to see a Nurse Practitioner take it.. They should then get you squeezed in with a GP if they are think it is necessary. [/QUOTE]
