My GP does the same for appointments, I tell them I have been calling since surgery opened and it is an urgent case, I usually get appointment.

Have you altered your diet, meds it's not the only option for you, a diabetes diet and exercise can help with Hbac1 bloods.

There is a section on different diets on this site, have a good look around I'm sure you'll find something suitable.
There is also lots of support and help if you ask

hi, not sure how long you've been type 2? But if you've been type 2 for a while and you are trying all you know and it still isn't working it sounds like it is time your docs ran the diagnostic tests on you again to check whether or not you are still producing insulin. It depends on the result of those tests as to what your treatment should be. There is no point being on oral meds when you are not producing sufficient insulin, as they won't work because they're designed for people who still have a fully functioning pancreas. You may just need to be on insulin therapy. You can still be type 2 on insulin therapy too... you don't change to type 1. The only time you are type 1 or type 1.5 is when you are producing antibodies (they do the GAD test for that). I hope your docs can help. I wish you the best.
