[QUOTE="Grant_Vicat, post: 2015008, member: 388932"] Hi [USER=188204]@jamesfitz[/USER] I have often thought that this is one of the worst aspects of standard letters which go out to all diabetics. Over the years I came to realise that I always got the same letter, even though the first time I had to have actual treatment was in early 1979 and the last in mid 1983. I have had plenty of letters informing me about the need for an annual diabetic review or that retinal screening is important for diabetic patients even though I haven't had to inject insulin for over 5 years. Computer brains cannot cope with anything but black and white. I wish they would word these letters far more carefully since thousands (millions?) must have been unnecessarily freaked out by this news. Keep up the excellent control and good luck! [/QUOTE]
