Well Year before last year our GP told me I had type2 and that was it .
My daughter suggested I should see a Diabetic Nurse so I did - my GP was on holiday so I saw a Doctor at the same practice as the DN because here that’s the way it goes .
I did not revisit that Doctor as my regular bloke came back from holidays so on my next visit to him - I have had a triple byr pass - I told him what I had done and all he said was continue to to test my BG now and again and that was it
In conversation with friends I was amazed that their doctors treated type 2 with some attention
For another matter I asked to be referred to a physio for pains in my back and that was last October and constant reminders bought no result till in February when after talking to friends I asked if I should be seeing a DN and he said yes so I told him I would make my own arrangements
I made an appointment to visit the nurse and she was most helpful - introduced me to the doctor at her practice and that doctor prepared a plan for me immediately
I have now had a blood test , urine test , eye test , foot test and an ultrascan to test my liver - the doctor prescribed metforim and I am to see her again next Tuesday
Had been taking readings first thing in morning - this morning 5.3 - before a meal and two hours after a meal
Wonder what my regular gp will say when I see him on Thursday- the understanding I have with the doctor who is interested in my diabetes is that I will continue to see the old gap for my other problems - maybe
Both doctors will know what is going on
Kind regards
Peter
