Receptionist calls. "Can you come in to discuss the results of your blood tests non-urgently?"

When?

 "Now!"

Oh dear!

Well if it is diabetes try to avoid Metformin ...... Makes you feel sick and you fart a lot.

I use Pioglitazone and diet to control mine.

My consultant has looked at the new "wonder" self injection with a view to switching me to it but says it makes most people feel very sick and you have to inject twice a day.... 45 mins before meals. In his opinion not worth trying unless you eat at regular times.

I have just got back from my 10.40 quack appointment  evil:

I can see why he runs so late, I was with him half an hour while he drew graphs and pictures and grumbled about the PCT and the coalition and we ended up swapping stories of gummint idiocies. I quite like the Bob Marley fan now. And his cat  confused:

Purely as an aside I see from my latest prescription (just collected) that the Doctor is a "MEDDYG" in Welsh.

Fvck knows how you pronounce it properly but my memory of Welsh for beginners classes suggest it should be "MITHEGG" (Short I and in the right accent with no stress on the first syllable).
