So I've been a type 1 for just over a month now and have good control so i thought I'd go get bloods done for anaemia,as I've family history of this and i know its common in people with type 1 diabetes.So after waiting for 3 days i rang the receptionist and asked for my results and she replied by saying "iron is borderline and no action needed" I was was like,what doe's she mean by borderline?!?!? so I made an appointment with my doctor.So i went into see him to ask what it mean't,which he went on about my kidneys and how diabetes effects your kidneys,and i was thinking to myself but I've only just been diagnosed with type 1 and he's talking about my kidneys?!?!?!?So after seeing the doctor I come out confused and slightly depressed into thinking that after only just been diagnosed and now hes talking about my kidneys,***!!!! so I made an appointment with the diabetic nurse for a second opinion.
She was soooo much more understandable and she told me that my iron wasn't too bad and that they'd of done bloods when i was in hospital when i was omitted so that'd of showed if something wasn't working right with my kidneys plus i mentioned to her that maybe i've been losing iron through running over 25miles a week,I've no trust in my doctor as when i went into him before diagnose i told him that i might be diabetic which he told me he send away for bloods and a pee sample in which he was telling me to do on weds and this was fri,the receptionist was the 1 that told me to do the pee test and she d get the nurse to dip it.later on that day i had seen the nurse outside my house saying that i had to get myself to hospital as she thinks I've type 1 diabetes and have diabetic ketoacidosis,wonder why i was losing weight.spent 4 days in hospital on a drip was great to get back home,hospitals yuk!!!
