[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 911704, member: 43498"] I agree with you, that is what we should aim for... effective and safe care. If we don't ask for it, who will? Once a person's diabetes has stabilised, if their HbA1c is is the non-diabetic range, and they have no noticeable symptoms of diabetes or its complications, then I don't think they need much input from a doctor or nurse, beyond an annual review, and maybe a 6 monthly blood and urine test of the usual things they monitor. However, until they are stabilised, or if there is anything else going on, then yes, they do need input, and as much input as it takes to get things optimised. If a nurse then doctor can't sort it out, an endocrinologist should be involved, and any other specialists that are needed. [/QUOTE]
