Hi guys
Well got my appointment through for the one stop Diabetes shop lol

Eyes to be photographed (don't know tech term) so not looking forward to the eye drops and of cause no biking for a few hours.

feet checked (again)

diet advice lol

and whatever else they decide to do.

have to say only been a week since first saw DN and my appointment is for 4th april so fairly impressed.

Cheers

Tigger
 
hi, the eye thing is no big deal the eye stuff stings but only for a minute, the feet check is only a problem if you have ticklish feet and the diet advice will probly be a waste of time hehe, best of luck with it


edit: and motorbikes are dangerous, get a car lol
 
1) thanks
2) yes very ticklish feet lol
3) will listen then have chips lol (Joke)
4) NOT A CHANCE lol (well unless I use the wifes car lol)
 
Thats not bad as far as waiting goes, im having my retinal screening on the 3rd, hope it all goes well
 
I'd suggest that you take sunglasses to wear going home - in case it's a sunny day.

Don't worry Tigger2014, there's a possibility the nurses' in uniform
may take your mind of your ticklishness throughout your ordeal.

There must be nothing worse than enduring the feet test if you have tickly feet though.
It's only a small plastic probe they use, but still...those tickly feet of yours.

btw, I'm very fortunate in that the eye drops don't cause any visual impairment afterwards.

Best of good wishes to you.

Not everyone gets the eye drops. I avoided them yaay, but agree with Robbity's suggestion about wearing shades (so that you are not pulled over by the cops for looking like a total space cadet, apart from anything else)
 
Had my toe nails done other day and she did the test so know what to expect lol Trouble is she knows I'm ticklish and does it on purpose lol
 
Good luck Tigger and as others have said, eye drops are not bad. Doesn't affect my vision at all.

She shouldn't do that. If she tried it on me, I'd kick her off her chair. Dosy Crow!

or ??

Mine are too, and did I need them! A combination of blurriness from the eye drops plus walking directly towards a low sun caused me to be in dire need of a white stick and a guide dog...
