Hi,
It is now 3 months since I was initially diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I then had to wait 5 weeks to see a diabetic nurse who told me that due to my vision becoming blurred I would need an urgent retinal scan - a half hour hospital procedure she said,
That was back on September 12th and I have heard nothing since. I have chased this with my local surgery and they can see the request was made but they have no way of chasing it once it is in the system.
Did any of you guys have to wait so long just for the appointment for your scans to come through on the NHS?
My right eye is now so blurred i'm having problems driving and reading. My optician agrees I need this scan at the hospital and I'm now very worried about my sight
