I go to the diabetic clinic at the Northern General Hospital once every six months. It’s ok but I have to take the morning or afternoon off work. I just can’t go in my dinner hours because I just know from experience that I am always seen late by my doctor. It’s always at least an hour on average. I don’t park my car in the car park any more just in case the ticket runs out. I think the staff are nice and helpful if I need any help. Recently I have had a problem with my local doctors only giving me one box of blood testing strips at a time. So I’ve had to reorder them about every two weeks because I am taking my blood tests to keep my blood levels better balanced. But on three times my strips haven’t been ready because this doctor said that I didn’t need them yet. So I’ve to wait 30 minutes to get it sorted out. My diabetic doctor is writing them a letter.
