[QUOTE="shekindevon, post: 1699812, member: 164876"] Hi I have foind my test results from last year (which i actually had done in australia) whilst i was there helping my daughter and my young grandchildren after a nasty break up with her partner)it was by no means a holiday There i ws given it all my results after a diabetic review in a proper booklet) every thing from weight measurements my pulse ecg, etc none of which i had done recenlty at my surgery. I was able to see a dietcian, podiatrist an diabetic specialist, the specialsit put me on Lantus once a day in the evening and novo rapid but of course i cannot have them over here so am back on novo 30 mix that i had been on for 9 years. Also saw a Diabetic educator once a month or she would phone, i realise that all this is not posible over here on the nhs.My daughter paid the costs for me. BMI 18-24.9 HbA1c 91 Cholestrol 4.2 Still not had the results of my recent blood test. wheni rang my surgery the next day to ask for it, i was told by the receptionist that she could not tell me as it said "to dicuss a review with nurse" so still did not get results!!! I have received a letter asking me ot ring a referral Support Service, it said for a specialist "Diabetic Medicine" assessment, i rang all i was asked was which hospital i wanted to attend, obviously i picked my nearest ! i now have to wait for a letter with an appoinment which may be in 10-12 weeks time !! I have still not been able to get an appointment to see a doctor or another diabetic nurse, the earliest i can sdee a doctor is towards the end of march, i have quite honestly gievn up for now.
