Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Iolanthe" data-source="post: 81809" data-attributes="member: 19506">Hi, hope someone can help please!  I have recurring thrush, which I just cannot throw, I have bought three lots of the canestan cream and the tablets - cost me £36 over the last couple of weeks but it is just not shifting.  I also had blood in my urine and have now done four  urine tests, the last one was back on Wednesday but the doc has not looked at the results - and was told to call back next Tues by receptionist to get the results for this! This was after she muttered something about it being "load waste???" and it was probably fine?!!!! I cannot get an appointment as you have to go through "triage" the doc or nurse calls you back and determines if you are worthy of an appointment. You can only phone up between 830 and 1130 for an appointment, I phoned twice this morning between those times but no call back.  I am not taking anything at all for my diabetes, as they have not yet decided what I should take, I have malabsorbtion as well and my GP wanted to wait three months to see what happened.  Everything is going straight through at the moment, I look like hell, knackered but keep waking up at night - my levels are up and down like a yoyo - today for example we go from 11.8 to 3.8 within the space of 2.5 hours!Is the recurring thrush a sign that the diabetes is not undercontrol? Three urine tests with blood  - why do they keep making repeat these and what hello is "load waste?"Final irony my husband phoned for an appointment today - did not have to go through triage was just able to book one for tomorrow morning for 10am - his is just a minor thing.I am now thinking about going down with him tomorrow and demanding to be seen. I feel so bloody emotional and tired.</blockquote>
