We're being encouraged to look after ourselves more now - where we can!  The NHS seems to be much more A&E orientated nowadays.  Other services are referred to as Elective. This is an interesting website from another area about how the system works eg the relationship between your GP and the NHS: http://www.valeroyalccg.nhs.uk/blog/12341-10-insider-tips-i-bet-you-didn-t-know-about-your-gp If you have been diagnosed as having diabetes then you should be getting blood tests and foot checks and diabetic eye tests.  Diabetes causes a lot of problems and a lot of costs for the NHS and there is info on how to avoid a lot of them.  You may be offered a place on a special course to help you to learn more by asking questions so you can deal with it better yourself.  https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/diabetes/ (90% of people have Type 2 diabetes.  A lot people are undiagnosed.) https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/type-2-diabetes/going-regular-check-ups/ Interestingly I was listening to something on Women's Hour this morning about exercise for the older person this morning.  Too many of us think that we can't exercise or can't fit any into our lives - or that we are too old - we're not - you'd be surprised: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0009bmk
