    Telling off for self testing

    That seems quite pointless as your DN needs to imform you what you are! To hear in 2/3 weeks after the review is also a bit weird. Alas it is how your Surgery I guess works. Blood tests are normally ready to view in 48hrs from giving. Call your surgery and ask them over the phone or go online...

    Telling off for self testing

    Hi, what I can't believe is that you/they booked you in for a Annual Diabetic Review. You probably had a Blood test a week or two before this in readiness for the appointment which is the norm. Just can't believe the DN couldn't give you the results when you saw her Very Strange!!!!

    Type 2 What educaton courses have you been offered and did you take them up?

    Diagnosed April this year with T2, took me 2 months to find out about Diabetic Clinic Education. Although delayed initially I found it an invaluable experience and education. First session is a drop in, followed up by two further scheduled appointments. The NHS is a great service when you're in...

    Metformin increase and ongoing diarrhoea

    I started on Metformin 3×500mg start away on diagnosis. After a while had sudden urges to go! So changed to Metformin S/R 2×750mg first thing in the morning and that's it for the day.

    Thank for your reply. As for navigating the NHS so far! Now here they do a great job as we all know the pressure and constraints they are now in which shouldn't be. As for my diet, I don't really have one. From my Diabetic education I am purely looking at what I eat and how much when especially...
