So today I went for my diabetic review. Ive recebtly changed doctors to a really lovely practice. Went to see the nurse today, in absolutely bits tears the lot at my hba1c being so high (10.9) lovely lady called the doc in and talked to me about gliclazide. Made me feel really at ease. Left feeling really positive and that I can get this under control. Put my presecription in amd the pharmacist called me to a side room where she said the following 'a woman of your age (33) shouldnt be on this medication. You need to think about slimming world, lose that tummy weight' and so on tummy weight and slimming world wete the exact words. To say im not totally feeling ****** and not posutive at all is an understatement I know its thier job to warn about medication etc but this really?? my doc already said at 33 and not overweight that I dont exactly fit the bill of a typical type 2 and they are now questioning whether I need tests for LADA but im just in bits now. Work have sent me home for the rest of the week as I turned up all tearful. My question is would you just let the pharmacists comments slip or do you think I need to put in some kind of complaint?
