Went to see my GP this morning, upon entering he asked me what he could do for me today? You would think they would take the time to drag up the next patients records :roll:
Anyway, my blood tests were back and revealed my BG level at 15.1 the day of my test which was Tues morning. Last time I tested which was yesterday it was down to 11.5. Not a bad drop since it being 22 on Monday Evening.
My cholesterol levels were normal and my blood pressure was normal much to the annoyance of my Doctor who was desperate to give me another lecture on my weight.
So the upshot of my appointment was
1) he has upped my dosage of Metformin to 1500 a day
2) He has also prescribed me with Sitagliptin 25mg a day
3) He laughed at me condescendingly when I asked for a prescription for meter strips, saying that Type 2 don't need to test and they would test me in three months
4) Gave me an appointment to see the practice nurse on the 11 July
5) he asked me to fill out an email questionnaire with a company called Clarity which is providing the practice with a general practice study (he seemed more interested in this than my illness lol. I can imagine why :shh:
6) He was supposed to give me a prescription for my Ventolin and forgot
I probably should have just stayed in bed. From now on I'll make sure I go to see my usual GP even if it means I have to wait a few extra days for an appointment
