Health centre rethink

Hi, been for my review yesterday and had to rethink my opinions.

Previously the care has been mediocre. Not bad, just not as good as I read about on here. Got there yesterday to find a new DN assigned and suddenly discovered what diabetic care should be. She was helpful , had plenty of GOOD advice ( reckon she's been lurking on here lol) explained about all the courses and checks that were open to me - including dietary.

More importantly, to me at least, she listened to my points of view and didn't actively poo- poo low carving. She also talked me into letting her examine my feet ( I'm almost phobic about anyone else touching them).

So, all in all a brilliant visit. Yay!

you should had bonked her over the head, into a sack, keep her in your basement then we could save the nhs some money and come round your house instead of going to the surgery for our appointments.

Customer helplines that use recorded menus that promise to put me through to the right person but never do - and being ill. Oh, and did I mention customer helplines :)

Low carving is a great way to lose weight as if you carve less you eat less :thumbup:













Sorry couldnt resist :wink:
Glad to hear you have had a positive experience :thumbup:
