[QUOTE="easygoing48, post: 989691, member: 225238"] That is bad but it could of been worse...I informed my GP back in April 2015 that I am losing weight and I don't feel well and as I have diabetes type 2 on insulin which I do not like as I dislike needles (been on insulin since October 2013) I want to change to tablets which at the first time of asking he ignored me and said we need to increase the dosage but I said I want tablets please but he was having none of it. I was seeing another GP about other issues and she asked to ask this doctor who was specialist in diabetes to assist me so on my next appointment I asked him again but this time he said I am sending you for HB1aC test and go back to the female doctor as she will help you so in between waiting for the results and a appointment to see the female doctor I rang up my surgery and I was asked to speak to an oncall doctor who said I needed to be examined in the mean time I was being for tests at the hospital. So I made an appointment and saw the male doctor who said your HB1aC is at 128 mmol/l but still did nothing to help me, did not refer me to a nurse or the hospital to see a diabetic consultant and again he said when I asked him to go and see the female doctor so I told him I don't like being messed about still he did nothing then due to still feeling unwell I saw other doctors who never once examined me and I again had HB1aC test done but this time it was at 150 but the male doctor did say you area very sick person so I questioned him as to why he and other doctors have done nothing and I was told to get out. Still nothing was done, but 6 months later I was put on metformin, in April I was at 93 now I am at 70 (weight). When you are asked questions you are compelled to answer the question doctor is asking but when the doctor is asked a question they do not like it yet they have a duty to look after us as they have responsibility of our welfare but now a days it's not about care it's a commercial business as long as boxes are ticked and payment received it does matter how serious the illness is.
