I find my own pharmacy very helpful [they are not a Lloyds branch], but I feel strongly that the fact that a pharmacy chain is offering a diabetes management support service just shows where the NHS services are letting people down

You're right, it really does show that the NHS is letting people down massively. I hate hearing that people are diagnosed and just left to 'get on with it' without any advice or guidance.

Whelks,winkles... All crustaceous seafood except prawns. Can't do crab.lobster or scallops.
Don't like the way they are killed and cooked. Save our Scallops. SOS !!!
Also HATE evaporated milk.

I was alarmed at the diet sheet I was given at my first DN appointment.

They say bread,cereals,chapatis,nan bread.pasta are all fine. And there was no mention of wholemeal substitutes.

All the other info was sound...

hi, i recently used lloyds for a cholesterol check and they were great, i spoke to the lady who did my blood test about the diabetes and my "skeme" for tackling it and she was a little surprised at my high fat diet statement but basically said keep doing what your doing, which was exactly what the dn says so.....

I'm sure that Lloyds give excellent service, but furious that they need to

I saw it advertised but I receive good care from my local diabetes centre, and would never consider going to Lloyds. Obviously others experiences arn't the same however, which explains why they are doing it.
