The procedure for Diabetes Annual Reviews at my local doctors is as follows:
HCA takes sample of blood and you hand over a urine sample, she asks a few questions about smoking, alcohol etc. and weighs you. (which she did by asking me what it was!).
About a week later you get sent blood results with a useless explanatory leaflet.
About a week after that you get to see the DN to discuss the results.
The blood results also have a "care plan", and I have attached it.
People often complain that their reviews are minimal or non-existent, this seems to err in the other direction, is a DN really going to have time or expertise to help with all these things?
Does anybody get these and actually fill them in?
EDIT: File was too large, I will see what I can do....
