[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1988221, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=73365]@ColinS[/USER], I am amazed your GP did not ring and ask you to come in. The receptionist has not the medical knowledge or license to decide whether your appointment is urgent or not. I would suggest you ring in and request to speak to the GP to get a much earlier appointment. If that fails ask for a sooner appointment like in 2 days time with the receptionist as it is that important. Sometimes one has to emphasise the importance with words like dangerous blood sugar levels, exceedingly high levels with the symptoms of bad diabetes - words like that may help to get in !! Otherwise perhaps go to the surgery and ask to see the nurse and show her/let her see the results. See if she does not get you in to the GP and perhaps tell him off!! If you feel nauseous , extremely unwell, demand same day appmt or attend hospital. Your situation is precisely why people with Type 2 diabetes need to be encouraged to check their BSls rather than relying on a ?? once a year test. There maybe some important blood tests your GP needs to do plus put in place some monitoring of your BSls and so on. Bets Wishes :):):) [/QUOTE]
