Re: How often should I see my Diabetes team?
I have 6 monthly check ups at the diabetes centre with my consultant and 6 monthly practice nurse check ups at my surgery. I stagger these so I have one every 3 months, 4 per year, plus an annual diabetic retinal scan, usually every April, so a grand total of 5 visits per year.
I have weekly INR tests on wed mornings for my anti-coagulation treatment (warfarin) and an annual check up from my surgeon as I had a blod clot a year ago that cut off the supply to my pancreas and I had 2 metres of bowel removed that had 'died'.
I also broke my arm and shoulder last april and have 6 monthly reviews on that.
Luckily my boss and work are great anf very understanding, lol.
If I was a dog, I'd be called "Lucky".
