Hi CL.
Just put all the things that have happened in the bin and have a good cry and sleep.
They are not helping you at all with the negative comments. So just treat them with the disdain they deserve. They should be encouraging you ?

Come back for help and support from your true friends here.

Hi CL
even if you don't get off medication completely, you are still in charge of your own treatment. That's a definite plus.
Getting a bit down sometimes, is inevitable. It's worse if you are physically tired through not sleeping.
Once the dental problem is solved, you can get back on an even keel.
I'm so lucky with my DSN, she knows I'll do what I think best and doesn't try to persuade my otherwise and is a willing arm to lean on when things get tough.
If yours isn't like that, she's not as good as she should be. Tell her next time you see her, hoe supportive other DSNs are.
Shame her if you can.

Since being diagnosed with T2 three and half years ago I have only been seen after 6 months once and the other times at 9 months, and last time at 10 months. At the last review I was told that I wasn't seen at 10 months instead of 6 months because my results were good the time before. My results were very good at the last review but then they said they would see me in 6 months next time so that does not 'add up'. I get the feeling they say what suits them at the time so I am not counting on being seen in 6 months time especially if there is a lot of flu about in the autumn and the surgery is busy. I don't get to know all my blood test results either, just what she thinks I am not capable of understanding them. It irks me too that I cannot see what is on the computer because of my bad eyesight - perhaps I should take my reading glasses. Twice I was seen by a podiarist but then was told the nurse would look at my feet at reviews instead unless I had a problem with my feet. The podiarist used a gadget to listen to blood flow but the nurse did not have a gadget and when I said I had not had my feet checked for 18 months she felt the pulse near my ankle and I think that if the nurse is going to do instead she should have a gadget. To me this change is to save money. Howeveon the positive side I was pleased that I am now going to the local community hospital to have my eyes checked properly and will be seen by them from now on - I hope. I have noticed from forums that it depends on the surgery practice and where you live as to when you are seen and what happens at your reviews despite recommendations by NICE.

Sounds like they're trying to save money at the patient's expense. Hopefully when you get your tooth fixed that will improve things (high BG from infection and inflammation), but I'm amazed with PCOS you aren't already on metformin, it costs pennies comparatively.

Revenge is a dish best served cold. It may take time to get there but PROVE HER WRONG! <evil grin>

Hi Cl,
Poor you, I hope that you are feeling a little better now!
It hurts when people say things like that! I am sure that there are lots of people here who will offer and give support to you! I am hope that you have had a good cry!
Personally i think that you are doing fine! So is this person a Psychic? As if she is then she is in the wrong job!
No one knows what the future holds for any of us! Just keep doing what you are doing! Don't let her get to you!
I feel for you!
Keep your chin up! And let all of it go on here we are here to listen!
Sandy

Cavelioness,

Dental infections are particularly prone to cause havoc with your blood sugar control. Be aware that it can take time to settle after the extraction.

My podiatrist cured my ingrown toenails over several painless treatments and this is so much better than the alternative. Worth every penny!

It sound like you have misery in your head, your heart, your belly and below your knees. How are your thighs and arms doing?

Be good to yourself.

Hi CL,
Good to hear the Docs on your side enjoy your gloat you've earned it :lol: :lol: :lol:
