[QUOTE="krazus, post: 320231, member: 49726"] well i had an interesting chat with the DSN today. good things: she has booked me for the eye pic (I will get something in writing. Also have a Dietition appointment for next friday. Got a DESMOND course in the pipeline too. CHecked me feet, they are ok, but i need to moisturise. Told me that 40% of people with type two eventually need Insulin shots, because its 'progressive' Bad things: Pretty much sticking to the NHS party line Shouldnt replace carbs for fat Showed her the entry in the NICE guidlines stating that a type two should have monitoring equipment to measure food intake and layers, and while she agreed, and even said "If i had Diabetes I would want one", she told me flat that she cannot give me one, purely because of cost of strips. :x However when I said I guess i will have to get a meter and record my findings, she gave me a home testing diary leaflet, talk about rubbing it in. Went to local Boots to price them up, and the dispenser looked sympathetic and said its the same story she hears over and over. Got an appointment with doc tomorrow about stress and anxiety, I am again going to try and get a monitor, and if not explain with no malice that I will be taking it further (MP, NICE, RDASH - local NHS, etc) :thumbdown: :thumbdown: [/QUOTE]
