Hi,
I'm after some advice for myself male aged 46 just finally been diagnosed with type 2. My GP missed diagnosing me in April 2025 when a blood test showed my level to read at 122.3. finally diagnosed 3 weeks ago with another full blood test still reading 120+. Aside from that it feels as if my GP is really dragging their heels with appointments etc. I'm concerned with being undiagnosed for so long if there may have been any long term/permanent damage but an appointment with a diabetic nurse has not been forthcoming. I adjusted my diet last April when I personally beloved I had diabetes and cut out as much sugar from my diet as possible. I've been prescribed metaformin and gliclazide and still my blood sugar levels are normally in the 12/13 range. Is there any way to speed up an appointment or anything else I should be doing. Thanks
