[QUOTE="janewatt, post: 675892, member: 23478"] Yes, I know what you mean about those early morning thoughts . . . I live alone in rural France. I got a meter just by asking - I had to argue a little with the doctor, but it was as soon as diagnosed. The regular check-ups for diabetes should be on an information list (eg eyes, heart, kidneys, feet, etc.) These should be similar whatever European country you're in, but whether each GP follows this is another matter. Dietary advice here in France is similar to UK NHS, and therefor may be so in Spain. Just take time to get your head around all this and find out as much as you can. [SIZE=3]It sounds like your doctor & nurse on are top of a lot of things, but it will take time. Sounds like you're already doing well - walking dogs everyday, regularly seeing nurse & doctor and have access to Spanish translator. Let us know how it's going. Best wishes, Jane.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
