Hello Thami 🇿🇦
I am so sorry that you have had diabetes for such a long time and I’m sad to read that you have diabetes complications now.
If you’re on a medical aid, you really should see an Endocrinologist. They specialise in diabetes.
If that is not possible, you will need to go to the Diabetic Department of a Government Hospital. They will insist that you live within the region that the Hospital is located.
Or, If you have a private GP, he can refer you to an Endocrinologist who works at a Government Hospital. I think that you have to be referred.
Whatever option you choose or can do, please do not neglect yourself.
You need to be proactive and make a plan, and you do not want any further diabetic complications.
My Mom used to go to the Diabetic Clinic at Addington, but I’m not sure whether it is still running.
I have heard good reports about King George V Hospital (the name has changed) and excellent reports about Albert Luthuli. You most definitely have to be referred to Albert Luthuli. If you have a relative in or near one of these hospitals, then use their address, otherwise you’ll never get help.
I urge you to make a plan and start making enquiries either online or telephonically, as to which hospital will accommodate you.
I wish you luck and hope that you receive the right treatment.
Use the same manner that you did to do this post, with the blue background, to ask any other questions that might arise.
There’s no limit to the amount of questions which you need answered.
Take care and be safe 🇿🇦🙏🤗
