[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 1004843, member: 209498"] [USER=113571]@KittyKatty[/USER] So it was your DN who was giving you a blood test then the results every 3-6 months. I think in a way you were lucky. After my first 3 month test I was told by GP I didn't need to be tested again for 12 months. My practice nurse doesn't write to me or tell me when I need to come in for a blood test, neither does my GP. I needed regular blood tests prior to my diagnosis with T2 as I have hyperthyroidism, but it is left to me to remember to make an appointment for the test, then to make an appointment with the GP to get the result. I would quite like to get more regular tests. But there again I am retired so have the time, and my GP surgery is only a couple of hundred yards away. From your results you seem to be managing your condition very well yourself so if you feel you don't need tests more than once a year you should just ignore the letter, or maybe phone the nurse to explain why you don't think you need regular testing and 'advice'.
