similar story here , I am in the forth valley catchment area , so I go to the doc with the type 2 symptoms , blood sugar is 14 . so ordered in next morning for more bloods and a fasting reading , 14 again , given metformin on the spot , next , no call re the blood results so called on the Friday morning , the receptionist tells me yes you are definitely type 2 and I have to see the practice nurse , so I asks when were you going to tell me that wee nugget of info , answer , we were intending to call you some time today , so I see the nurse on the Monday , bear in mind no advice re the drug or diet or such like , so on arrival I am asked , why I was there , so at this point I am on the close side to detonating , she looks at the notes and says oh you are type 2 and you are here for a foot check and advice , exam carries on , given leaflets and shoved out the door , not willing to answer any questions on this life changing diagnosis , just you have your tablets , two feet and leaflets so go away , thankfully I found this forum through a friend who has he same , then when I go back to the practice they say to me oh by the way you are to attend the eye clinic and the local diabetic clinic , thanks for the great communications , not , honestly what a system
