[QUOTE="pollensa, post: 1599662"] Here is the system in Mallorca Spain. My test results were pulled off the computer, by a stand in Doctor in absence of my Doc of 30 years. She viewed same, looked at me and said "hmmmmmmm diabetes 2, your diabetic, stood up, passed me the result form, folded her arms, said don't drink coffee and good luck. If you want to speak further with your GP make appointment". Thankfully I am a person that does not trust neither the medical or legal system, and asked for three opinions, it turned out typergraphical error as I thought on my first test, had I not had the good common sense, to have second and third opinions as standard procedure, I would have been continuing as Diabetic 2, I am infact, pre diabetic, well, in spain, still viewed Diabetic, but in New Zealand, due to cut off differences, Pre. There was no sorry your Diabetic, no support line or diabetes associations given, or information if I check my fingers, or if monitors provided and strips.... That's the way your told in Mallorca, plus, I might add they are so far behind the times re Diabetes and formats and ways to treat and view, they need to address this, having said that, I cannot praise more the general national health system, albeit it Hospitals, or the local pacs surgeries as they are referred to they are fantastic. Diabetes and treatments, way behind the times sadly Mallorca. [/QUOTE]
