Hi everyone, can anyone tell me if Type 2's are supposed to be referred to a podiatrist? When I saw the nurse a few weeks ago, I mentioned that I'd been having trouble with an I growing toe nail, she gave it a quick glance and said I wasn't entitled to a referral.
In hindsight I believe there's some fungal infection there, as the nail is more thickened and white and I have to admit to picking at it, to try and stop it growing in at the side. It was really painful for a few weeks and I think it was due to me making it sore.
The NHS site says that we are entitled to a referral. It's very confusing
