[QUOTE="secrettheatre, post: 95672, member: 17733"] Thanks for all the recent activity on this thread - I've been 'absent' for a while, but I'm back now. :D I [i]still[/i] haven't had the full results of my screening. :evil: I saw a doctor at my diabetic clinic about 3 months ago (was just due to see the nurse, but asked to see a doctor) and he said he'd 'look into it'. Evidently he hasn't (I'm assuming this based on other things he'd said he'd do, but hasn't). So I'm still feeling somewhat frustrated. Plus my GP (I'm going off-topic slightly, so apologies moderators) has started on at me regarding my test-strip usage again - according to him I should be using 3 a day, 4 is sick. Currently I use 5 or 6 a day. He said he and 'the girls' (the clinic secretaries) are 'keeping an eye' on my usage. He also accused me of being 'obsessive' about my diabetes. Well that's just ****. Indeed, if I'd perhaps been a bit more obsessive about it over the last decade I wouldn't have developed retinopathy, however mild. To him I seem to be little more than an instance of a statistical mass. I wonder how he'll react when he learns I've changed GPs? I'm phoning my diabetic clinic first thing Tuesday morning. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: [/QUOTE]
