[QUOTE="crisbev, post: 2020785, member: 220018"] Hi I have been type one since April 1991 and have had the worst year since I was first diagnosed. We used to have check ups every 6 months now if I get a letter once a year I am lucky , then to be told I cannot now use the blood machine I like I now have to use one that is so basic it’s no use at all and if I don’t use it my doctors won’t let me order my lancets or test strips for any other one just the one that they say I must use . It’s now getting beyond a joke . Last year it was over 14 months till I got part one of my diabetes check and 16 months till I got my part 2 . If we want to see a doctor or nurse we have to que outside in all weathers at 8 o clock which when you are not feeling well is not a happy time , then only to be told when you get to the desk that all that days appointments have now gone as people in the know get in the que at 7 am . so this is now what it is like to be a diabetic under Lincolnshire hospital trust now . I just think it’s a joke when you watch tv and the doctors on there you just go to the desk get a appointment they send you straight away for blood tests and even ring you if you have a problem. Come on show it how it really is in real life . Am I loving the 21st century NHS [/QUOTE]
