Looking back through my old emails, the last I heard from my previous surgery was a copy/paste of an email from the PCSE: "We can confirm that these records were delivered to *new surgery* on 22/07/2021. If the practice has any queries then they will need to contact us directly." I've gone...

Many thanks, I will consider this All I want is a history of my Hba1c results, it's not a lot to ask for! I've never had much luck with GPs, I could write a whole thread about how they've screwed me over the years. All my diabetes related info was dealt with my the GP, it's where I had all my...

Many thanks for the advice, I emailed them again today and received the following response: "I have put a request in to PCSE to see if they can find out where your notes are it normally takes a few weeks I will let you know when they arrive or what they say." I'm not sure why they didn't do...

Hi all For about a year or so, I have had a mixture of a tingly/numb/aches feeling in my feet. I have been trying to reduce my HbA1c since then as I want to stop any progression, my most recent two tests were both 7.5%. At the weekend, I spent a good few hours at the hockey, which meant a lot...

I ended up calling the people at the retinal screening place, they booked me an appointment the next day. The scans said there was nothing to worry about and as I had had two 'no background retinopathy' results in a row, I am now seen every 2 years rather than every year. The floaters are...
