[QUOTE="Carlb, post: 229071, member: 38474"] Hi guys, Just an update. I went to see the Nurse at the doctors last Thursday and she didn't know why i was there. Diabetes isn't her thing so she took my weight and booked me in for cholesterol blood tests as i have just started to take Simvastatin. She went for a chat with the Doctor then returned to tell me that the Doctor will explain everything on Monday (yesterday). So, last night i go and see my Doctor and he informs me that he will enroll me on a "Desmond" course (i guess it's the same as what you told me Phil), great I'm sure it will help after all, knowledge is power right? Next up he makes out a prescription for a few months of meds, lancets, strips etc and says " OK great, I'll see you next year, end of January" :***: I know i should have asked but i just felt i had used my five minute time slot and was required to leave? So, i still have no idea if i am ever going to see a diabetes specialist or team, no idea on getting my eyes/feet checked and basically, no idea what so ever what is going on! Will someone contact me do you think? :think: :thumbdown: Love these smilies though :lol: :wave: :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
