Yep-I really do wish GP reception staff did not consider themselves a special breed far higher than us mere patients....!!

I was ready to try anything-but my daughter got it sorted for me today :-) Thanks

Receptionists seem to be a law unto themselves!

Thanks CatLady-I will certainly be raising this incident to a higher level-cannot believe the attitude from the receptionists I updated the original thread-as I now have insulin! Phew :-)

I had already told her it was for my insulin-she shook her head and said i had to get if from former GP-not a great start witha new practice-but will try again-might get a different person! :-)

Im going to try every single suggestion in the morning-and surely one of them will help-thank you

Thank you-receptionist said I was not a patient for a week-but anything is worth a go at this point! prtty scary to think I could end up without any... Many thanks

I totally agree with you- I have not-and will not-share details/specifics about my former surgery to anybody-just want to leave and forget all about it. It was the receptionist who told me... A good idea to make an appointment-but I wont be their patient for a week from yesterday when I handed...

Hi-I had made a total of 3 (valid and non abusive) complaints to my GP surgery this year-none of which they responded to. Then I had appointment on Monday-during which I was angrily ordered to leave the practice because of the complaints and because I had asked on a local Facebook page for...

Hi-does anybody else have problems with the Humalog Kwikpen? In the last 4 boxes ( 5 pens per box), at least 1 in every box has stopped working. Every time the same type of problem-I turn the wheel to measure the dose and it stops clicking and just locks in place- so totally unusable. At...

Well-what a shame your manager is so poor at supporting you- But great news that you are much happier and looking after yourself by taking the breaks :-)

do not like the sound of your dismissive doctor- please try to find one who understands Diabetes- look on the NHS forums for reviews of GP surgeries in your area to move to. The longer your husband eats so badly-the worse this will get...he needs a Diabetes Support Team-and fast Good Luck x

Hhhhmmmm...here goes some answers to some of the questions by way of partly participating( cringeing ever so slightly!) - What is your name? Alison - How old are you? 46 and counting in the wrong direction.... - Are you male or female? Female - Which country are you from? UK - Which city/area...

Giverny-one of my favourite Chris Rea tracks :-)

Hi There is a thread just before yours about "hypos after going to the gym"-and it contains alot of great info on blood sugars/insulin/exercise that should help you. I suspect your insulin may need adjusting due to the intensisty of your work outs-speak with your Diabetes team about this to help...

Hi Your food bill wont be any higher than before- if anything-it should be lower. You cut out all of the rubbish and a good BALANCED healthy diet is all that you need-with keeping an eye on how any particular product may affect your BS levels. I got all sorts of bad advice when I was first...

I think it is a great response-shows they know their responsibility and want to look after both your husband and their safety requirements. Alot of employers couldn't care less! This OH referral will be a legally binding -reasonable adjustments should be clear to the employer after it too. Good luck

You are only recently diagnosed-and it can be a very scary time-I think we have all experience of that-so you shouldn't say it was OTT to go the A&E-it was the right thing to do rather than neglect what could have been serious. Better safe than sorry! I hope your employer understood when you...

Just realised this post was in June-so there must have been a meeting-and an outcome by now? Can you give an update please Gavin- I would like to know how this turned out Thanks

Hi Gavin- Sorry to hear you are going through this It needs addressing -in writing- to your employer. Once something is in writing-rather than just chatted about with a manager who doesn't care- you find things tend to improve. Not allowing you to treat your Diabetes is breaching all...
