[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1597973, member: 355878"] I was due a thyroid check - to see if the Thyroxine dose was right. Somehow the test was mislabeled - it was done at the clinic rather than the hospital, by a nurse I had not seen before. I was contacted by my doctor a week later and told to come in ten days after that, told I was diabetic given a prescription and that was that. The tablets made me ill so I stopped taking them. Later on I was sent to diabetes education sessions - too late, I had already sorted out the problem. Later still I was sent an appointment for eye test and later still the nurse checked my feet, by which time I was no longer diabetic, not even prediabetic. I have not seen my doctor since, but was asked to go in to see another doctor from another practice who tried to get me to take statins. I have had two more tests for Hba1c and cholesterol, but still have no idea if my Thyroxine level is correct, despite asking about it each time blood was taken. [/QUOTE]
