I am not on diabetic meds any more, but still have to take blood thinners. One is not supposed to come off these suddenly (or, according to my GP, ever). Recently I hit a perfect storm with supplies, resulting in me having to visit the pharmacy (because they wouldn't answer the phone) six times in 10 days. Their problems were: supplies not turning up, staff covid, pharmacist not turning up, relief pharmacist not turning up (they are not allowed to dispense without a pharmacist being there) GP not actioning prescription request, and -I genuinely sympathise here - a new computer system being installed which made everything run much slower and less efficiently.
It would be funny if it wasn't so important.

The attitude I got back from chemist when they couldn't get my needles was a joke , like I was taking the mick for complaining, I am some type of type 1 my endocrinologist isn't sure yet , every time I eat my sugars spike up and won't come down without insulin, the tablets like metaformin ,gliclizide etc don't work ,by the end of the week I was in a mess bad migraine and blood dripping out my nose due to high sugars , they couldn't give a monkeys , the issue with my prescriptions is just the diabetic meds the prescriptions I put in for my partner and daughter are always there on time , it's like my prescription is magically disappeared and the chemist and doctor have no recollection of it , despite it been put in the box with the others I've put in for Mrs etcI am not on diabetic meds any more, but still have to take blood thinners.
