After the nurses at my gp surgery telling me that I know more about diabetes than them and another one telling me to keep my bloids at 2.....they referred me to a consultant at the hospital for my reviews etc....
Just picked up my prescription and v was told that my test stri p s will no longer be on repeat prescription until I've been to the nurse for a diabetic review! I have tried calling gp and receptionist said it has nothing to do with her and I need to put my reasons in writing!
Surely seeing a consultant is a review and shouldn't waste valuable nurses time having 2 reviews. ...I also can't see a nurse for 3 weeks as they are fully booked for their diabetiec appointments. ..how the hell am I meant to cope with no blood test strips? ????????
Can the gp do this? Surely they can't withold them from me? ???
Any advice? ???
Thank you x
