Well I got the diabetic appointment mixed up with my physio appointment and am really kicking myself. Although I didn't embrace the idea of a glucose monitor stuck to me I need to get my BG at least near normal. I had written to them though to ask for animal insulin and told them I'd see them on the 20th December which is when I thought the appointment was but infact it was the 8th Although the letter reached them before the 8th so although it was completely my fault they could have maybe given me a courtesy call to let me know I'd gotten the date wrong. Anyway they never responded to my request for animal insulin and a few months back they sent a letter saying my next appointment for Annual Review was in July 2009 which is ages away so I'm guessing I'm stuck until then. I tried ringing them and explaining I got confused, but as usual it is just an answering machine and they are there two days a week and they never call back so I have a feeling I'm fighting a losing battle anyway. I actually meant to mention DAFNE or carb counting in my letter but forgot as they have never bothered introducing that to me but as per most of my requests it will probably be ignored anyway and they just change my medicine I think to suit them. I am more frustrated with myself now though for getting confused with my appointment but come July I might get some response. Although I'm off this week so may pop down - in fact Monday and Friday they are open although I've got physio today but I could go down after that and hope they are open and maybe have a face to face chat or something :| My BG's were terrible over Christmas although I didn't overeat it's something I suppose I should just accept and getting confused and forgetful is part of my diabetes so I should just accept it - I'm fed up today and unsure what to do but maybe I shouldn't lose all hope just yet?
