Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sid Bonkers" data-source="post: 191039" data-attributes="member: 19121">All diabetics in the UK are entitled to a free retinopaphy screening once a year assuming you are in the UK you should not have to 'push' for what is your right. Again I am assuming that entitled means the same as 'right'.You should also have your feet checked by the practice/diabetic nurse for signs of neuropathy once a year as part of a full check up, as well as regular HbA1c and kidney function tests the frequency of which depends on your level of control for a T2 between every three months and once a year. As far as I am aware your doctor can not refuse these tests although test strips are of course discretionary.</blockquote>
