I've been struggling with my diabetes since diagnosis 9 years ago. Since I caught covid back in December I have had problems with my eyes and now my legs and feet. I have nursed patients with covid and seen all my staff including myself catch covid. Since getting covid I have had problems with diabetes regarding my high blood sugars then Maculopathy diagnosis then trouble with my legs and feet unable to walk. Waiting on results from my nerve conduction tests. Been off work for a month now, still suffering unable to walk anywhere. I'm only 37 and I feel old.
I had my diabetes appointment today. Was expecting to speak to my consultant but I got to talk to a specialist nurse. Told the nurse how I was and got nothing back. We need more specialist support.
Just feel let down and disappointed in regards to the NHS. I can't understand why NHS staff and nurses are leaving their professional.
