[QUOTE="Doctorwhobbc, post: 2400390, member: 504426"] Hi Dje55, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed reply! What you've described is what we would be expecting. We're surprised they aren't going to do any bloodwork (not even an Hba1c). Every time we ask the diabetes team or the GP they say there is no need to have an appointment unless there is an issue. Obviously, there is a lot to consider and be patient with around covid, but I guess we will need to be persistent. For example, when we called today the diabetes nurse said they don't usually get involved pre-conception and any diabetes discussions should be made with the midwife and obstetrician [B]after[/B] we've conceived. We pushed them on this and they reluctantly said they would talk to the diabetes consultant and get back to us. We'll wait to hear back from the diabetes team and hopefully get a bit further next time. [/QUOTE]
