'Clearly here the doctor is prescribing an adequate supply of insulin, if more were prescribed it would either mean you need closer attention/modification of insulin type or dosing, This is in your interest. As to the 'mix-up' before you travelled, that, friend, is down to you and your poor planning'
Engage brain before mouth please. As I said earlier I had been receiving a level on insulin and without any consultation or discussion this was reduced. I have discussed this issue with other doctors and agreed to increase my prescription back to a reasonable level. On both occasions another doctor changes without consultation or discussion. With regards to my holiday, I did plan and submitted a repeat prescription and wrote on the prescription that I was travelling.
What should I do? Make an appointment with a doctor every time I want to travel, leave home or sneeze? No, I manage my diabetes well as I am repeatedly told at the clinic at St Barts. As for criticising my doctors / surgery - I made it clear in my first post that I do not want to leave the surgery as it is excellent, I just am concerned over the treatment I receive from one doctor.
And finally, I asked for comments to help me understand how others are being treated. Maybe I should have said useful comments.
