[QUOTE="Riva_Roxaban, post: 2460703, member: 538585"] The GP practise I go to does not do diabetic feet checks, instead they give you five visits on a health care plan to a podiatrist that specialises in diabetic foot care. After she checks my feet out she will give my toenails a trim up. All the rest of my diabetic checks are done away from the GP's, eye tests at the optometrists, blood tests at a pathology lab. The only thing my GP does diabetes wise is sign my NDSS subsidised test strips form, which has not been done since covid started. He did read the blood test reports, and recommended if I was to take Metformin or not. [/QUOTE]
