Constable Country Medical Practice - Capel St Mary Surgery


No support and no one listens

I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes about a year ago by the Norfolk diabetes prevention study. I had previously always suspected I had diabetes as my 'fasting sugar' level was often high. However, even shortly before the diagnosis the GP's refused to listen to me. Following the diagnosis I have had to 'fight' to have any help with my diet and management of diabetes. To be head I have had to involve a private endocrinologist dietitian and nutritionist at BUPA. Currently, I am receiving no support with my diet and the surgery is only willing to arrange 6-monthly blood tests.
