Hi HSSS Not seen Dr yet as the specialist is sending me an appointment for scan (within 2 weeks) once i get the scan i will see if the specialist is taking over or refering me to a Diabetic clinic, if not i will see the Dr and try to organise a plan with him. I am due a blood test at the surgery...

Thanks maria

Hi KK, They said that they have excluded cancer of the oesophagus,stomach and duodenum, no evedence of ulceration, inflammation or malignancy. They are still fast tracking a scan and/or radiolgical investigation (whatever that means). The specialist said he just wanted to cover all bases. Hi...

Thanks HSSS and Bluetit I will look at the 2 meters you have suggested thanks. I have read through the information i had from the Diabetes course, the course was in 2013 so some information may be out of date. To be honest i amnot too impressed with my Dr, i would have thought the Dr surgery...
