You don't need the court of human rights. By restricting your insulin, they are risking your life and therefore committing medical negligence.This is why I signed up a couple of weeks ago to see if others were having the same difficulties as I have getting insulin.
Once again last week my insulin was cut down, I'm getting to the point where i'm going to go to the Court of Human Rights.
Join your PPG for your Practice and voice concerns for all type 1's that are getting restricted.. If you make it as a general concern for all patients and not base it directly (although it can be linked) to yoursel then it is warranted as a concern as it affects all T1's.
Also for all patients... As a raiser of concerns... You are entitled from the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to ask your CCG's which Practice has issued most blood strips in monetary value for 2014/2015.
This may give you more information that is necessary in considering which GP Practice in your areas are best to register with.
Hi, Mattzuma, glad you got things sorted so well - I was wondering, given my 2 post 2013 experiences, and my finding that things i had relied on for help with another strip refusal and change of GP some years ago no longer existed, did what you describe happen before April 2013, or more recently? Thanks, AnnChange your GP immediately. I suffered similar or worse from my GP. I strongly insisted i be referred to a specialist diabetes team then I changed GP. I placed an official complaint with the NHS and the GP subsequently left the practice. My care team is now top notch. I believe the action I took may have saved me from serious complications. It's "your" diabetes, not your GP's. He seems to be a moron if you ask me.
Hi. My memory is a bit hazy but I think it all happened early in 2012.
So, busy Mondays then. What about the rest of the week?Over the years, it hasn't stopped me studying at postgraduate level, running my own business, running a small farm, restoring classic cars, playing most sports and doing a bit of sailing and mountaineering.
