I have got a printout from my DBN this morning and it says on it

excepted from diabetes quality indicators: Patient unsuitable

What is this meaning ... And do other have this ?
Did not ask when getting the printout as I did not have my reading glasses with me.
All my levels are good and metorform has been stopped .. So on no medication for my BS
I am hopeing to reduce some of my heart med's now my weight has reduced .. Lost about 4.5 stone since the new year.

Never seen that or heard of it, unless something went wrong with the test?? No idea, can't be because your readings were normal range, because they still list them.

However, what a superb weight loss! And great reduction in medications too.
 
Thank you donnellysdogs, further down it said I had poor control ! Just thinkng if this is why I get treated like dirt when I have to see the DBn
My control was good as soon as they decided to tell me I was T2
 
If you Google the phrase, lots comes up, but I just don't know what the various pages mean. I could speculate you are excluded from your GPs reporting, due to not fitting certain reporting criteria. I read you have multiple medical issues?
 
Yes AndBreathe, I also googled ... Made no sence to me .. I only have heart problems (that I know of)
The comment was made from the Dr ! He refused to see me in the past about my dibeties .. Also they will no longer see me about my heart problems .. It's all done via the nurses now.
 
Don't you just make an appointment and see him?
 
Yes AndBreathe, I did used to do that .. As soon as you go in and say it's dibetics or heart he's on his feet saying don't talk to me .. Talk to the nurse ... So I don't go anymore ...
 
This is not about your results etc. this is purely to do with the reporting the practice has to do for NHS England and their local CCG. It is about results and indicators for certain groups etc. for some reason you are excepted from a particular look up under the diabetes section. Possibly something like T2s on practice list on certain medication ( you would be an exception as you say that you are now not on metformin).

Hope that helps. It is 100% nothing to do with any kind of diagnostic or testing results so please do not worry :)
 
Would like to add, that this is the same Dr that told me there's nothing he can do about my feet and legs very swolen (now know it was water retention, due to my heart problems) and told to go and get a hobby !!!
The wife (yes the wife again) has to remind me the Dr is just a person ... And not all people can get on together .. So he not intrested in seeing me .. So don't go to the Drs any more. Do feel this forum has been a life line for me .. Thanks guys :):):)

If you have no confidence in your doctor, it might be worth considering a change. I'm not generally an advocate of swapping and changing, but we need to (largely) trust those we turn when we're not at our best.

Of course, that wouldn't usually stop me from also consulting Dr Google too.
 
My heart nurse is fantastic .. Helpfull and really knows her stuff .. Stay for her .... As I know my heart problems are safe with her overseeing them.
