Diagnosed Type 1 eighteen months ago, and by and large happy with my treatment, but I am struggling to find a justification with the bi-monthly meetings with nurse or dietician, I have to take time of work do a round trip of 30 miles and invariably wait for half an hour or so before being seen, we seem to have got to the stage where they ask me how I am doing, I say Fine, we then discuss holidays or how they had a problem parking today and then I go...................Why cant these regular catch ups be via the telephone??

Saving money and time

Or is it just me??

If your managing fine then ask to extend the appointments to 6, 9 or 12 monthly.
