Disturbing findings here.
Perhaps says we should all push as hard as we can for our regular check-ups.
I have to say, I live on a road where the residents are generally 'of an age'. 5 of them, that I know of, are waiting for non-diabetes tests, test results, treatment, consultations, operations.
All of them are aged 75+. It really sticks in my craw that these folk, with limited time let's face it, are being short-changed.
Actually, my wife was quite fortunate. She had a knee scan and was seen by a specialist pretty quickly. Mind you, that appointment was in a mobile truck in a messy car park near a less than wholesome town centre. Third world stuff really.
My Dad, who was a consultant physician, before he died many years ago, would have been horrified I think.
