What can I do stop everyone from Hospital Consultants down from answering every symptom I mention as being ‘well you do have Diabetes!’
I have been diagnosed with B12 deficiency which they treated with a loading dose last year - after having anaemia for many years and B12 being very low since at least 2015
My GP had done nothing it took a private appointment with Gastroenterologist to spur them into action.
In the light of recent information about Metformin which I have been taking for many years. I queried this with my GP as I also take a ppi inhibitor again for many years, and both have now been proven to lower B12 absorption. Shrug of shoulder and move on.
On a blood test in November last year I was shown to be at 50 and noted as ‘pre diabetic’ so I do not have uncontrollable diabetes type two.
I do not know how I can convey to my GP that my symptoms could be unrelated to diabetes.
