[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 2317276, member: 68789"] My phone appointment was early, so I was pleased I happened to be near the phone. I think it’s just as difficult now as it always was for the teams to plan for whatever comes up in the appointments. It’s much much better than the old pre blood testing meter days, let alone pre libre, when we’d be hanging around for up to four hours while the in-house blood test was processed. I always took a good book, had a trip somewhere instead of staying in the waiting room or, if I was lucky, went out for lunch while they processed it. The worst one was when I had two very small daughters in tow, one was not long born, by Caesarian, the other, at 17 months, had already discovered the joy of climbing up everything. The appointment was lunchtime, the prescribed insulin dictated eating times and I was hypo. What really got my goat (a goat might have been easier to have with me than a newborn and a tearaway toddler) was the nurse who looked at my daughters and said, “Why did you bring those with you!” Did she think everyone had helpful relatives? I was delighted to leave her straightening the magazines and replacing the bits and pieces that my toddler had enjoyed. [/QUOTE]
