[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2517804, member: 365308"] I think we do need to be pushy and get over the mentality of 'protect the NHS' other than of course turning up for our appointments of course! I've had my last appointment pushed back to September 22 so that means I've had less than 5 minutes 'care' in the last 18 months I think? I am going to get my own foot check and I can interpret my blood test results (I hope). I can only say that the local GP surgery for whom we are running a low carb support group, recognises that a lot of type 2 s got diagnosed over the phone during the last 2 years and do feel unsupported which is why they've allowed us in to run a course. reasons why this care isn't being delivered by the state? Locally it seems there are not enough DSNs to run courses or spend enough time to help patients make useful changes. This has always been the case to my knowledge but has of course been exacerbated by the focus on covid in the past 2 years even though it seems obvious to me that helping people get better metabolic health will help them deal better with viruses.
