Hi.
I'm a tad confused. I saw a DSN on Wednesday where they took blood samples. After a good 30 minutes or so, I left with a bag of stuff including a prescription for Levemir & Novorapid pens and a handful of needles. The DNS said she would book a follow-up appointment for this coming Tuesday and said they'd call me on Friday to confirm.
Nobody did call, but I did get an outpatients appointment letter this morning, but it's for the 24th January. That can't be right can it? I might give them a call later to check (appreciate the NHS is snowed under, but I'm concerned about a few things, not least where to get new strips and needles).
How long was it before other newly diagnosed folks got a follow up?
