[QUOTE="hh1, post: 2532059, member: 146541"] My medical reviews seem quite random to me - I think it's whenever there's a GP available to do them as soon after they're due as possible. And for years now they've been by phone; I never see my GP for diabetes stuff, it's alway the brilliant nurse, thankfully. My surgery has recently asked everyone only to contact them by phone in particular circumstances, otherwise do so online. I phoned today as I've inexplicably, for the first time in 36 years, screwed up and not ordered needles to the point that I have two left. I'm on MDI, minimum 5 injections a day, and I already have hyperlipotrophy; apparently 46% of people who have this reuse needles, which I used to do big time but not any more. I didn't notice I was running out as I thought there was another box behind the one I was using - except there wasn't. Discovered this yesterday evening, so ordered a script online and phoned today to explain it was urgent. Brilliant response, it'll be at the pharmacy tomorrow. Just hope I'm not back tomorrow saying it didn't work out....but the pharmacy is always very good and will help if they can. [/QUOTE]
