Hi, I'm Anne, age 68. I live in Ireland. Diagnosed Reactive Hypoglycaemia 1992. Type 2 Diabetes December 2015. I was referred to a public diabetes clinic in Dec 2015, my first appointment is due 29 May 2024. that's 8 years and 6 months waiting. Meanwhile I went the very expensive private route until the doctor closed her practice. When a private practice closes there is no facility to help patients find a new doctor and no transfer of records. A lot of endocrinologists have given up diabetes to focus on the more profitable obesity industry. I spent 3 months emailing endocrinologists to find one who would accept a diabetes referral. By the time I found one I had been notified of my private appointment, but I will believe that when it actually happens. Private Endo. started me on Trulycity . I'm in second week of injections. Sugar levels are within normal range 93 % of the time. Problem is severe stomach problems for 3 days after each injection. The second week was worse than the first. Has anyone had similar problems?. and how did you cope ?I
I will, of course ask my GP, but her waiting list is 3 weeks and, for the past 8 years they have refused to answer any questions on diabetes, "ask when you get your hospital appointment", is the standard answer.
Irish G.Ps don't monitor diabetes, except for an annual check with patients who qualify for medical cards. That's people who live below the poverty line. HSE, (public health system) has opened what it laughably calls "Integrated care Hubs" to keep people with chronic illnesses away from hospital outpatients. Good theory, but in practice it means there is a Nurse in Bray with a waiting list longer than 12 months. The doctor is in Clonskeagh 15 Km away, not on a bus route. And retinopathy screening has been moved out of town to a third venue. That's what they call Integrated Care. It would be far too easy to tell GPs where the various places are. Instead the patient has to do a Miss Marple to find the locations for appointments. Needless to say the call centres don't know addresses, or post codes. It's a very effective way of reducing attendance. Fortunately I'm retired so I can afford to spend hours digging out information that should be freely available.
