[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2411374, member: 493719"] I'd suggest there are 2 approaches . One for type 1 and those requiring insulin or meds other then Metformin Certainly for type 1 , the word team seems to refers to a group there to offer support with issues over insulin, and to some degree those T2D, having issues after taking medications. I would have said very necessary, in most instances, however the posts back do suggest it's rather ad-hoc, and more a whose available rather then a set designated team, sadly For diet only T2D, that need, I would suggest is less important, certainly if the treatment is just diet and/or Metformin I'd echo a similar tale, of rarely seeing the same person twice at the surgery Though that may be more the rareness of visits and staffing shortfalls, then a deliberate policy. So yeah, a 10 minute visit, with a good bit of that, finding out who I am and previous contact with surgery eating into that time So 'TEAM' was a word I heard often, but not sure it relates to T2D, except in certain circumstance. Rather loosely, for me that would be, whatever doctor was available at time of any appointment, ( But that was the same process regardless if diabetic or not ) plus who ever is currently doing health checks ( not seen the same health check team yet, but have seen some doctors a 2nd time ) I'm just grateful to be seen at all, given the stresses the service is under, have even had my surgery now advise they are doing yearly checks once more & HBA1c tests [/QUOTE]
