Another vote in support of the above. DO NOT PAY. The most they can take you to court for is the amount lost by breach of contract, i.e. half an hour's parking charges. They do not have legal authority to issue a fine. Do not even communicate with them, just ignore them. There is LOADS of...

Tealeaves, I really feel for you. I have been T2 for about a year, and like you my readings were just into the diabetic range. Like you, I am overweight. Over the past two or three years I have lost 3 stone, but really need to ditch another two to get to a health weight. Have you considered...

Well, today was finally the day for my review. Decide to behave myself as the nurse is very nice. She checked urine (fine), blood pressure (Fine & improved), random blood glucose (fine) and feet (fine). Discussed how I was feeling (fine), how my weight was (Improved) and how well my head was...

I was given the oral glucose tolerance test, because I had had two fasting blood glucose tests, one just over 7 and one just under, so as that was very borderline they did the ogtt.

I've been diagnosed a year now. For the first six months I couldn't get my fasting BG below 7, but the doc told me not to worry as my HBA1c was fine. Then the next six months I seemed to step change and was getting 6.x, and in the last couple of weeks I've been delighted to get as low as 5.3 a...

Thanks. I did have HbA1c done in April, so I am meeting the annual requirements, I just think that they should do everything in one annual appointment rather than bring me in 6 monthly for a 'chat.' I called the surgery today, and as was suggested above there was no way they would consider me...

Thanks all for useful comments. Viv...they don't do bloods at our surgery, you get a blood form to take to the blood session at the community hospital. And appt is 1.30pm :-) I phoned them, cancelled this appt, and agreed to phone again Wednesday to discuss with the nurse who co-ordinates...

Coming up to the first anniversary of my Type 2 diagnosis. Had a check at 6 months where my HBA1c was 5.2, but I was still a bit concerned that my Fasting BG was over 7 most mornings. Nurse advised not to worry, that as my HBA1c was fine all was good. Just been sent a letter for my next...
