My six monthly check was due at the end of May and (after hassling the hospital) have received my appointment today... for the 21st August!! This will mean by the time I get there it will have almost been 9 months since my last check up.
I am worried for the following reasons:
My feet weren't checked last time so it will have been 15mths come the appointment (I have ghastly feet from running ).
I was put on medication for high BP a few months ago and haven't had the chance to discuss this with diabetes team yet.
I want to know my HbA1c every 6mths!
I've left a message for my Doc to call me (not in today!) and am going to as her if I can get my HbA1c done now and if she thinks I should be hassling the hospital or just to wait?
What's your opinions? Do you get seen every 6mths?
I envisaged this happening two years ago when they stopped letting me make my next appointment as I was leaving the current one!!
