[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 1759794, member: 196960"] I was changing drs and had to leave a urine sample. It was a Friday late morning and I very rarely had a day off but I used my day off in 2wks of shift work to see nurse and then do food shopping, then relax at home. I left nurse at my new gps with sample and she called me in Sainsbury saying I had to return to Dr's. I explained out of the question as I was in middle shopping and awaiting to go through checkout with frozen food which needed freezing asap. She asked if I could return Saturday morning so I agreed. Notifying work an emergency drs appointment instead of overtime. I didn't take it seriously as I did have a clue what the nurse was implying. After shopping I ate and slept for hours, then into the evening and throughout until my emergency nurse appointment. I lived on my own so off I walked up to Dr's (about a mile) for a test on nurses meter. She didn't show me its result. She booked me for gp Monday morning. He prescribed metformin and a meter test strips. I returned 2 weeks later with meter readings of my own explained by nurse pre Dr appointment. I think Dr requested blood tests too so all received by 2wks for nurse appointment. I just saw nurse til I was referred to endo due to hormone disorder and depression. Endo was assisting my infertility as I was originally on metformin for PCOS at old drs, different region too. I managed my diabetes on metformin until 5yrs later when I needed insulin for my first pregnancy. After labour I needed more support to manage my numbers (hba1c). 2nd pregnancy made management even more difficult. Now unable to walk without 4 different painkillers. Which I'm hoping temporary, 2yrs of pain is enough for anyone to bare. [/QUOTE]
