[QUOTE="britishpub, post: 926767, member: 175573"] I think we can be too hard on GP's as you cannot really expect them to have detailed knowledge of all the things that can be presented to them, although with Diabetes and the fact that they get paid to diagnose and treat the disease, they probably should be better informed. Diabetes Nurses, are not trained professionals, so we shouldn't expect them to be able to much more than repeat the "company" line. Our GP is about to get something presented to him, which will be well outside his comfort zone. My dear wife, who weighs 7 1/4 stone and has not an gram of body fat, has just had a blood test with an overall Cholesterol level of 6.3. Explain that ?? [/QUOTE]
