"High Cholesterol and Borderline Diabetic"

Following bloods the above was found. After making my own unaided dietary changes reduced diabetes down significantly. Disappointed to receive a standard text asking for ny weight and offering me the diabetes course which I had already done via zoom during Covid & given feed back on how unhelpful I had found it. Disappointed that there was no recognition of how well I had done in 4 weeks to get back into pre diabetic & not offered any alternative to a course I had already done. No reason given why they needed my weight reported but duly did so & no feedback. I used the reply text to ask for referral to a dietician (which I had pre Covid) or to someone in the practice who could help with meal planning so as to continue to get out of pre diabetes & reduce cholesterol to bring down my Qrisk3 score. No reply. No reason for weight request given or further options on dietary advice available to me. When I was told about my cholesterol & diabetes it was made clear to me then the risks of doing nothing so on my own I have achieved alot in 1 month but am struggling with meal planning. I feel sending of routine and non personalised text messages being highly inappropriate & in my case did not take into account my previous attendance at the course or with a dietician & failed to recognise the brilliant achievement made by me in a month to get out of the diabetic state (which is on my record) & failed to offer something more appropriate to my circumstance to reduce my cholesterol and pre diabetes levels. To just ask me to submit my weight & not say why is baffling to me given I am achieving what I was told I needed to do. Cholesterol can't be tested until October so not able to see what the dietary changes I have made are doing to reduce that for another 3 months. Patients should be treated as individuals and not just as numbers. Medical records should be checked before any standardised texts are sent. In my case it would have then been obvious I had been pre diabetic for some time etc... when I contacted the surgery today and spoke with an extremely helpful & polite member of the team she understood where I was coming from and agreed to look at why my weight has been asked for & suggested I put in an anima request to get answers to the other matters I have raised herein as she was not confident my text reply would generate a phone call to discuss my options for keeping on the right path to achieve normal cholesterol & blood sugar levels especially as I had done the course which had been routinely offered to me. Again disappointed that the text reply has been ignored & look forward to hear what has been done with the personal information I provided about my weight. Additionally, given other ongoing health concerns & a normal result for gluten I would have expected more than a note of no further action as the GP should be investigating these other issues with me which we now know is not Coeliacs. A phone call would be appreciated to discuss the way ahead.
