Unable to get ongoing healthcare for diabetes

I had an appointment with the diabetic clinic in June which was cancelled via a telephone message and told I would be contacted in a couple of months. I emailed to request an appointment in September and eventually received a foot and blood taking appointment. I have had no feedback from a diabetes nurse or doctor since this. I also phoned for a consultation about numbness, tingling and pain in my left hand which gave me interrupted sleep at night. The doctor phoned me back and said she thought it was arthritis in my elbow and asked me what did I want her to do about it!!!
