[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 617174, member: 21149"] Hi and welcome. Your experience is not uncommon. In my experience and many on this forum there is a great deal of ignorance amongst the GPs and nurses even those who have had diabetes training. The knowledge conveyed to them can be dated and incomplete. To be fair it is a complete range of conditions with poor diagnostic tools, so guesswork is the order of the day for diagnosis. Treatment can be more organised, though. There are so many with diabetes that the HCPs don't have the time to discuss the condition; it's just a production line. You should find many answers on this forum so just ask and someone will be able to help. First steps include getting a glucose meter and having a suitable diet which means controlling the carbs.
