[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 2273555, member: 68789"] Both the GPS and the Hospital Clinic I go to are doing phone appointments now, and the Diabetes Consultant said back in March that he’d be ‘seeing’ people like that for the rest of the year. Do you use the Feeestyle Libre sensor [USER=374526]@db89[/USER]? One way of ensuring that your management is available to the Consultant for discussion and advice is to use LibreView which allows a clinic to access it. If you haven’t had it prescribed, and are having trouble staying on track, why not contact your GP and ask them to request that it’s prescribed. It’d maybe help you if you also wrote to them outlining your concerns and including a few days’ records to show why you need referral as soon as possible. I confess, I feel a little sorry for those working with diabetes right now as there has been an upward surge in the numbers diagnosed, plus the people who get Covid-19 who have diabetes may need extra input to help recovery. I think there may also be a shortage of Consultants in some parts of the country: the Consultant I see was asked to return from retirement to fill a vacancy. [/QUOTE]
