[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 930120, member: 21149"] I have always had a good experience with the various DNs I've had over the last 10 years. Their diabetes knowledge has varied but they have always tried hard, listened and without pulling rank. The two diabetes 'expert' GPs have not been so good. The first one was pretty clueless about diabetes, diagnosed me a with a urine stick and missed all the Late onset T1 clues. I had to suggest medication to him. My second one is a good GP but a bit arrogant and doesn't listen about my diabetes. She refused to consider I was T1 and refused insulin until it become vital and then offered it. I was told to stop starving myself and have a normal balanced diet; all pretty silly really. The reality is that they are General Practitioners and even with a 1 week diabetes training course they won't be diabetes experts for years as they have to cover an amazing range of other health conditions.
