    Surgery is backwards...

    50 p a page ! Oh crikey . My diabetic nurse prints results off . Online you can only see medication, book appointments and request repeat meds

    GP ... forgot I am diabetic..

    So I saw a different GP yesterday..a new one to the practice. Appointment was on time .. he had opened his room door stood there to greet me. I explained I had more than one problem ... not a problem he said .. listened very attentively then asked me how I was coping with my diabetes... marvellous

    GP ... forgot I am diabetic..

    But isn’t that what our notes are for ? And reading the cards would take as much time as reading notes ..

    GP ... forgot I am diabetic..

    It is funny but again not acceptable. I got remarried 4 years ago and also past ‘ trying for a family ‘ on a visit to my practice The topic of my forthcoming nuptials came up and the GP asked me if I needed any contraception advise ... lol

    GP ... forgot I am diabetic..

    Oh my what an insult! It’s a good job we can laugh about how we are treated but to assume we are ignorant is not acceptable.

    GP ... forgot I am diabetic..

    This is a very valid point and it must happen quite often I should think . Ten minutes does not seem a long time but it is enough to read the basic notes of all patients . Appointment systems are very flawed and as we seldom see the same GP this adds to it . I’m back at the surgery this...

    GP ... forgot I am diabetic..

    I certainly do not hit out ar everyone lol you presume to know rather too much about my visit to my GP ... comments like yours are not helpful nor necessary. There are ‘no rules ‘ about appointments at my surgery many people have multiple problems- I’m not sure where you get that information...

    GP ... forgot I am diabetic..

    Being busy is not a valid excuse and I would think most of our notes are computerised now so are linked to your appointment. Notes are even linked to hospitals in my area

    GP ... forgot I am diabetic..

    There is no need for such a petulant reply ... his reply to my question and his reaction confirmed he had not checked my notes therefore he wasn’t aware I am diabetic and the fact that I am quite recently diagnosed is quite shocking in that he didn’t even enquire about it . Not to mention it was...

    GP ... forgot I am diabetic..

    Visiting my gp last week for being unwell .. explained what was wrong so he started printing off a prescription. I asked if the proposed meds would be ok with my diabetic medication to which he gave me a blank stare . I don’t expect him to remember but I do expect him or any other GP to look at...

    Type 2 Blood sugar levels have doubled

    I too have been on holiday and suffered from not taking my Metformin regularly along with eating things I shouldn't! There was me thinking after 6 months of being mostly good I could get away with it - well I didn't nor did you ! That was 2 weeks ago and back on the Metformin ( gets on my...

    My dentist didn't believe me either - it took a lot for me to go and I didn't need chastising.
