My Doctor decided to reduce my Metformin dose from 1000mg to 500mg a day, but did not bother to tell me (hint Dr : I'm a sentient human being ). This was on a repeat prescription, I did not notice the medication change, so I have been taking twice as much. It was bundled with some other medication I take, so did not notice.
On monday, I realised I had taken my last tablet, but could not work out why ? , thought I had lost a box or something. Finally worked it out when I saw the prescription.
Problem I had I was due to go on a business trip Tuesday afternoon, four hour drive, staying over night ,returning Wednesday (just got back actually) . Took the repeat prescription to the Doctors surgery explained the situation and asked them if they could get the DR to sign it.
They said they will try after surgery (1pm), rang, no luck, he's too busy, explained the situation again, they will try after baby clinic (3pm)
I really did want to get off for 3pm because of 4 hour drive , so rang again. Nope it's over run , he wont get chance till 5pm
Decided to wait till 5pm, nope, he has over run again. Rang again at 6 pm, sorry he's gone home
So worst of all worlds, no medication, arrive at the hotel at 10pm
Just remind me, who is paying who's salary ?
Good news is , I went carb turkey for the duration and blood sugar was 4.2 (76) , when I got home, with no meds for 36 hours.
