Another thing. ...not sure if anyone here can help. ..do I have to have a review at my drs regarding my diabetes? I know that I need my hba etc checked but honestly, its a waste of time. If I have problems or questions, I go to the diabetic centre at Kettering hospital. They have community nurses I see also. I assumed that as it is my condition, surely who I see is up to me? Btw, I have always controlled it well, am waiting for daphne course and am hoping to discuss pump therapy tomorrow. Ive never abused my health so im not refusing treatment, I just thought I could choose which was right for me.
As your already under the care of your hospital clinic I don't think you need to have your diabetes review at your Dr's. you might need to go there to have your bloods taken by a nurse which will be sent over to the hospital for your review but that's about it.
I have my diabetes review under the hospital diabetes clinic, as said I get bloods done the week before my appointment by which time they are ready for when I see the consultant, my gp surgery would like me to have my review with them but I prefer to have it done at the hospital.
