I've never had a medication review. I request online and it gets approved. They literally have no idea if the dose they give me is working. And my meds are supposed to be at the very least annually reviewed.

None , because who has the time to attrnd a six day course? Also most of the information is available on the internet. In fact Ive had nurses and GPs giving me orintouts from the internet for othef things. Of course it does get written down on my medical record lije I'm some troublemaker!

My surgery has a medical video app for apointments. Despite this still not doing any diabetes checks. I was diagnosed last year and was due to have check up in April. Didn't happen. Seemed to have forgotten about me. Good job I test at home or I would have no idea of my condition. Luckily...

My understanding I am not a lawyer, that any lying on a job application is a criminal offence. The reason is you are gaining a finnancial reward through dishonesty. So it is basically theft. At the very least you are allowing them an easy way to sack you if you ever get into an employment dispute.

curious is the only benefits reduction in cholestrial levels? part if my problem is reading up on the subject I yet to be convinced that high cholestrial levels are a problem or why statics. I think ive seen a few lectures where they say the link is only statistical , and thats debateable. No...

The 120/90 is only with drugs and exercise othewise its 130/100. It was a long night, hence the many mistakes in my post

This one of the reasons I worry about taking statins but my Doctor dismisses statins making blood sugars worse.

oops my mistake I missed off the high cholestal, it was the combination of high choles plus high bp/diabetes for statin. Post corrected. My trigs ard bad, as is my hdl/ldl ratio. and the h1abc was wrong, what a doofus!

So my Dr is constantly trying to push statins on me due combination of high bad cholestal/ high blood pressure and diabetes. He ssts I have 20% chance of dying in 19 yrs although I like to point out I have 80% chance of not dying. Everything I’ve read about statins makes me want to stay well...
