Hospital clinic

I get my appointments every 6 months. i think its a standard to get 2 appointments a year. Never tried to get any more so not sure if its possible at all.

If you can, try see the DSN, I find they're better to talk to regarding getting better control. Most consultants seem to only be concerned with the HbA1c result of your last clinic blood sample and then maybe look at your last day`s meter readings if you're lucky and make a simple decision based on that. Nurses are much better at dealing with problems like these in my experience.
I saw my consultant just once last year ...I was due one in early January 12 and it was cancelled at short notice with less than a week before clinic date and rescheduled to June hence with 6 monthly clinics I didn't get to see him untill this January ...he was running 2 hours late I took 3 months worth of downloaded data from my meter and a folder of a hand written daily diary. He saw my hBA1c had dropped and said.. you're doing great it was 55 which is not nowhere near great (IMHO) .. looked at the last days entry in my daily diary and said I needed to drop by basal as I was a little low on my fasting tests but didn't listen when i said that was because I`d been shoveling snow and spreading salt for 8 hours at work hence the basal was running lower than usual but he didnt have time to look at my charts properly. I said ok but have not changed my doses. :think:
