[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 510069, member: 17713"] Well I got phoned by a recptionist from my GP practice today. The receptionist told me " not to do my injection tonight".... I said "sorry, I'm not on injections...I don't know why you are phoning me".. Her reply.. " are you telling me you dont have diabetic medicines?" I said " no I am on an insulin pump, so don't have injections" After arguing with her she finally agreed to get the gp to phone me.... The gp had given the receptionist the instructions to tell her to phone me.. The gp did not check what medication I was on... Or understand the badics of a diabetic type 1 of 30 years cannot just .. Not take an injection"- if I was on injections I would have been taking lantus and novorapid... So how would I have know which injection not to take? I do not know of any type 1 diabetic of 30 years that could just not take an injection...raise or reduce dosage yes.. But not stop... And she never even looked to see what regime of insulin I was taking.... I am livid at this advice... It was appalling...
