5mg of what?
Good luck with the doc,I’m on forxiga 10mg.
If your dr failed to keep a telephone appointment then they should reschedule another with a dr (not the nurse). If reception staff refuse then ask for the practice manager to explain their policy.
Well done on not diving into the sweets
What has changed? Meds or callback?but apparently it’s changed now
What has changed? Meds or callback?
Do your surgery do “e consult”? Basically a form that gets reviewed and a response in 24-48 hrs. That response may be an appointment or a call or a prescription etc
Or actually book telephone appointments?
Or have access to out of hours appointments?
I understand that continuity is beneficial and I’d prefer it but any go should be able to review the medication and your responses to it. Will your dr actually remember? (Or just reread your notes) I don’t get the feeling that many really do as overworked and stressed as many are
Just to add to my above post. As this doctor is a locum, she may be unwilling to change the meds your normal GP has prescribed. I can imagine it isn't a "done thing".
First appt is 3/7 and it’s diabetic clinic so nurse will be there. Complete waste of tine because she will just drone on about how I need to eat carbs blah blah.
A complete waste of time? . . . . . .yet given the options you've mentioned, it is your best option, I suggest making the appointment.
This whole thing about carbs and how many carbs we should eat is a load of old cods wallop. Your medication should match your diet, not the other way round, end of story. You have chosen a dietary regime that doesn't require the amount of carb NICE suggests and that's it.
If you were gluten or lactose intolerant you'd avoid those things in your diet. If you had a nut allergy you'd avoid nuts. My wife can't eat kidney beans unless she wants to be ill. Your situation, my situation and a lot of type II people's situation is that we can't deal with the amount of carb they keep trying to make us eat. They would not tell someone with a nut allergy to carry on eating nuts and by the way here's an epipen with Adrenalin (epinephrine) for when you go into anaphylactic shock.
