Hi all,
I have been advised to see a lawyer as I have been told I have a case for medical neglect since being told I am diabetic type 2 recently by A&E . When I went to my doctor 4 days later she asked me if I had ever had a sugar test before, I said I thought not as no one had ever mentioned diabetes to me before, after looking back on my notes she informed me I was sugar tested in 2005 with routine bloods that were taken at the time and was borderline diabetic then, yet no one has ever told me that. I was told at the time that my results were all normal. I would have got the wake up call and would have changed my eating and drinking habits way back then if I had ever been told .
Has anyone else ever had such a thing happen and gone to a lawyer with a claim for neglect?
I feel so let down by the doctor and feel I would not be diabetic now if I had been properly informed.
Denise
