Hi to all,
I have been to see the Cardiologist today and he said I have to have an urgent angiogram done ✔️ and also an Echo scan too been put on more 💊 medication and have to go back when I've had the angiogram ✔️
I might also have to have more tests as may have another heart problem that needs investigation done.

It definitely sounds like they're on the ball @Sparklebright63
I haven't had an angiogram, but I hope @woodbine will see your response soon!
In the meantime, I found this page on the British Heart Foundation website, which may help you in understanding what to expect from the procedure. -

Hello @Sparklebright63
I'm so happy to hear you got that cancelled appointment and the ball has started rolling!
The best thing to do is call the secretary at the hospital in regard to your diabetes. They will have different ways of doing the procedure when other health concerns come into play.
For example, when I went for a colonoscopy, there were instructions for me, instructions for those with diabetes, instructions for those on blood thinners...and so on.
Hopefully more information may come with the appointment letter tooHannah - She / Her
