[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1636289, member: 94045"] Most GPs delegate T2 diabetes care to a nurse. This is common. More serious cases are referred to a specialist clinic, mostly T1s. The nurses go on specific training courses for this and the majority of them know what they are doing. GPs don't normally have specialist training in diabetes. There will always be bad apples, but there are also bad apple GPs. I am happy with seeing my nurse. She has followed the Diabetes Care Pathway to the letter since I was diagnosed 4 years ago. Her dietary advice is the Eatwell Plate, but she recognises this is wrong but has to follow guidelines. I have never once seen a doctor in relation to my diabetes, and I am glad about that. [/QUOTE]
