As I continue to see the hospital specialist reguarly I thought this was a little unneccessary. So I asked my diabetes nurse and she told me that it's basically about money - if you are getting reviewed at your surgery, they get money for the extra person on their 'books'.<br /><br />SO obviously, everyones different and if you want to go to all the reviews, then great! Especially as you're newly diagnosed. And you might not be able to escape the GP reviews completely, but you might be able to come to an arrangement with your specialist and your GP?<br /><br />Anyway, of course it's up to you and I don't wish to tell anyone how to live their life/control their diabetes, but I'm just letting you know that it MAY not be 100% neccessary to go to both, and best to ask your nurse.<br />(After all, seems a bit silly to have the exact same blood tests etc in 2 places!?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737388966176276622.post-31351831073256753542009-11-03T12:30:15.655+00:002009-11-03T12:30:15.655+00:00Much kinder on my eyes thanks Becky!
