So my second visit. Well, she was nice enough but in two visits has not once given me any advice regarding my diet (she recommended here but thankfully, I was already posting when diganosed!.
Apparently oven chips are ok , she is pleased my levels are reducing. Thinks my foot pain may be neuropathy but lets wait and see. My incontenece could be related but could be because I am obese. She couldnt weigh me as we were not in the treatment room where the scales are. Metformin is known to give the side effects I have but they will settle down and as long as I am not messing myself I should stick with it. My bp is very high still, they want me to do some home monitoring but could not supply a machine as they have none with extended cuffs (Lloyds pharamcy £20.00) lol. Go back in 2 months to get my HbA1c tested, come back before if any problems, keep up the good work!
Sorry for the rant but suppose I wasnt so lucky to find you all here? You have offered me more support and advice than I would ever have expected.
I know the strain the NHS is under but maybe some of these people need to actually look here to find out the right way of doing things
I also told her about Lidls rolls
