[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1564729, member: 94045"] I found out the hard way. I had routine blood tests done. No communication. A few days later I saw a hospital consultant on a totally different matter. She looked at her computer screen and said "I see you are diabetic". I said "No, I'm not". She said "I'm not an endocrinologist so I advise you to see your GP" I rang the surgery and was given an appointment with a health care assistant because apparently a letter had been sent out to me asking me to make this appointment. The HCA said she needed to take more bloods to confirm the original tests because they indicated diabetes. Next day, the missing letter appeared. (No mention of diabetes). These second lots of bloods confirmed the diagnosis I hadn't been given and an appointment was made with the diabetes nurse. I have never seen a GP in relation to my diabetes, and all that was in January 2014. I only ever see a HCA and the diabetes nurse. [/QUOTE]
