Had bloods taken last Friday. Results back on Monday but doctor not accessed them so told ring Wednesday. Same situation but told try Thursday.Rang today but told still not opened? I understand it's not normal times but was a little cheesed off. Just this minute received text saying make appointment with diabetic nurse asap?Thinking it's a positive the Doctor doesn't want to see me?
It is common practice for GP's to devolve Type 2 diabetes patients to a nurse. Personally I have never once seen a GP in relation to my diabetes. After the blood tests that revealed diabetes I received a letter from the surgery asking me to make a nurse appointment. The nurse gave me my diagnosis, discussed all the results, went through all the usual stuff about diet and lifestyle, and made me another blood test appointment 3 months hence. The only time I have seen a GP in relation to this was not to discuss diabetes but to discuss and push statins on me because "we give statins to all diabetics". That is all she was bothered about.
