[QUOTE="UK T1, post: 2272968, member: 503751"] Hi, as others have said I'd request a referral again already as you were due an appointment soon and it sounds like they have a waiting list otherwise they wouldn't presumably have gone for the redesign. I remember seeing links to NICE guidelines on here somewhere saying type 1s should have annual clinics with the diabetes consultant or a member of their team eg registrar. Can't search for it now sorry, but maybe someone else can help? Re driving, until last year when I was put on the libre my previous 3 clinics were 1 1/2 - 2 years apart due to their long waiting lists (meant to be annual) also some had to be postponed due to snow days and consultant illness. When I applied for renewal driving licenses I listed retinal screening, foot checks and blood tests as well as the clinics and have never had a problem getting my driving license renewed. My GP has never helped with my management either, but is good at reminding me about blood tests due (pre lockdown). I've signed a form so I get all results online and don't think I've ever actually met my official GP! Glad I have my diabetes team, agree it would be easy to slip through the net otherwise. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
