Hi ally as i understand it they should be checked at least every 12 months ,so i would get them looked at ..look at it as an mot for your feet,

I think it's an important check - especially when you've had some real challenges around your control, from time to time, Ally.

I would try ringing up asking who you can see to have your feet checked, because it's been 18 months. That may be enough for them to offer you an appointment. Starting a bit softer usually works for me, although I have been known to get stern from time to time.

I hope your bloods come in in a good place.
 
thank you @AndBreathe
i will ring tomorrow
