I couldn't make the consultant appointment I had been given due to work committments so I called today to notify them and to ask to re-schedule.
They told me that - since this appointment was already a re-scheduled one (which is true) - I would now be discharged to my GP.
To be honest, I don't really care because my control is tight and my A1Cs have all been excellent; but at the same time I realise it is good to have a hospital consultant as I know how quickly things could change.
Is there anything I can do about this? I think it's incredibly unfair, it's not like I simply "no-showed", I called and gave plenty of notice that the appointments I were given were not suitable for me and yet they've still decided to discharge me? It's no wonder so many young people suffer with a lack of specialist T1D care in this country if this is how quick they are to strike you off.
