[QUOTE="type2_2020, post: 2287505, member: 526318"] My wife thinks I should sue the NHS / GP surgery because of negligence. My back story is on this thread [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/confused-why-my-diabetes-team-wont-take-me-off-of-insulin.175527/[/URL] So when I was diagnosed I went into a DKA full blown almost died, with BG levels at 32.8. I woke up and was told i'm a diabetic on the 3rd day. hba1c at diagnosis was 96. 1 week later I was told by my DN that she found a previous hba1c from a year ago showing I was a diabetic then, an entire year before I ended up in hospital fighting for my life. 10 weeks on from DKA my GP phones me and says to me they are sorry they've only now realised I was diabetic. I'm not making this up, this actually happened, and that my history going back shows this. But no one ever got in contact from any of the tests. What's strange now is they are checking me for everything now, suddenly they are interested in my health care. GP says she's limited but wants to do as much tests about all my organs now and make sure I'm checked over. I found it all funny to be honest, because for a whole year, I was eating sticky toffee pudding almost every night with ice-cream, malts, fruit juice, lots of cakes, lots of carbs, and I was getting bumps / clots a lot the more and more sugar I consumed. I went to the GP each time for these painful sacks of inflammations. I don't want to take any action because the NHS saved my life, i'm forever in those nurses and doctors debt from pulling me out of a bad comma and near death situation. But my wife argues it could have all been prevented if the GP and the consultants had follow protocol when it was first discovered. And for them to realise 1 year later is not normal. It's not right, and they would have looked at the hba1c and should have flagged it up but no one did until after 1 week of the DKA to know i had diabetes before this all happened. Stuck in an argument with my wife about this would be great to have some insight from members if you think she is right or i'm right. [/QUOTE]
