Re: New to this
I was only diagnosed on the 6th August with Type 2. up until this week have had to wait till 3/9/09 to see my Practice Nurse and that is only for a blood test, then wait for it another two weeks to have a review.
Quite frankly i am concerned and anxious, I approached my GP Surgery spoke briefly to the nurse who curtly informed me that up until then I do not need to test. That is nearly a month by my reckoning.
Surely if i am to learn how to manage my condition, this is not a very good start or very reassuring. MY GP surgery is not very understanding run by an old school of doctors, who have not really come into the modern world, where empathy is concerned.
I do not reallly think i stand a chance of getting any monitoring equipment or strips. I may have a fight on my hands. I am really worried about self-testing as it is and wanted to get used to it as soon as possible. I am utterly clueless at this point.
Anyone else in the same boat.
