I have had type 2 diabetes now for over 10 years, together with the related high blood pressure. I am being treated with tablets taking 9 for diabetes and 9 for blood pressure.
My dosage started some years ago with 2 tablets and as i have progressed and with each yearly visit to my GP practice (which has 4 doctors )the dosage has increased together with the number of types of tablets until my current level of 18 per day in total.
Recently I have become worried about the number of tablets I am taking and have considered seeing a private consultant who specialises in both diabetes and high blood pressure to seek reassurance and advice.
Before he could see me he needed a refferal from my GP. I have asked for this and today received a phone call from her saying basically the I would be wasting my money but she would be prepared to do this if I really wanted to.
Has anybody experienced this or has any advice which could help me.
