Thanks. I have had some background retinopathy and was being seen at hospital but they discharged me back to the GP for screening but they don’t send appointments. The consultant at the glaucoma clinic has contacted them about it but still nothing. This is why I am considering changing surgery...

Thanks for all the replies. We all seem to be having different experience’s. I haven’t had a foot check for over two years. I go to hospital for bloods to be taken and then phone surgery to be given a phone appointment about three weeks later. I haven’t even been called for retinal screening.

My surgery is a nightmare you can’t get seen at all and they are still using Covid as the reason. I’m seriously thinking of changing surgeries.

That’s interesting mine have all been over the phone. I’ve just booked my next one expecting it to be in person but no it’s still a telephone appointment!!! Thanks for your reply.

Hi I’m wondering if everyone else is still having diabetic checks done over the phone. I haven’t been seen for over two years and I can’t understand why checks can’t be done face to face now.

Yes I will thanks for the advice.

Thanks I think I was a bit dehydrated today but still getting higher readings after plenty of fluids Guess it's just something I'll have to put up with when it's hot.

Just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem as me. I'm type 2 and controlled with a low carb diet only and my glucose levels are normally good but in the hot weather they are up even if I don't eat much.

My dr phoned me and told me and said there is a prescription at reception for you to pick up. That was it. No offer of an appointment with nurse or anything for advice. Needless to say I changed to a different surgery.
