[QUOTE="Jude, post: 287207, member: 8649"] Hi Doug - an update on my quest to be prescribed Bydureon Yesterday I had an appointment with another Endocrinologist who deals with bariatric surgery as my weight issues have really got me down more recently (and that is a struggle I have had for approaching 50 years!!). I do not really want a gatric band but thought the team might be able to give me some support etc. First laugh - I am NOT fat enough :clap: my BMI is 37 and in Coventry you have to be over 45 BMI. Consultant was brilliant with me and explained how that just because NICE agree certain standards it does not mean you can access that in your local area because it depends on what your local hospital will agree to finance. The insulin has helped with my bgs but piled the weight back on so I asked him "what is more dangerous to my health my weight or bg levels" - his reply was "that is an interesting question"!! I recently posted how that my local hospital apparently does not prescribe Bydureon - my gp was not allowed to prescribe it and the local committee told her that my consultant should continue prescribing it - do they not know that the hopital does not prescribe it :lol: :lol: Then he went on to tell me that there is no reason that I cannot get the Bydureon because he knows that it has been approved by our local hospital as he was involved with that!! So now I have to do more chasing! :? As I often say it is a full time job being diabetic!! Jude [/QUOTE]
