This is my problem. Since being diagnosed in January the only people I have seen is the podiatrist, the eye people and in May had a follow up hba1c test which was 57, down from 114. I haven’t spoken to the nurse since February. She didn’t even ring to let me know my blood results I found these out through the NHS’s app. I did try to make an appointment and was told she would ring me back which never did.
Ive not been given any advice about anything and really do feel abandoned. Its like here is a life changing diagnosis, go away and deal with it oh and by the way we want you to have a shed load of medication and you have to take that for the rest of your life and just accept it.
Everything I know is through my own research. I know I must be doing something right as my finger prick results are down from an average of 17 to 8. I have lost 6kg and exercise every day now for at least 30 minutes.
Sorry a bit of a ranting post but I’m feeling very confused and angry about it all.
