[QUOTE="jackois, post: 1503353, member: 99684"] I'm type 1 and I see my doctor and diabetes nurse once a year. I don't attend a clinic or see a consultant or endo at all. It's all about need. I'm well controlled, consistently return good HB1AC results and going to a clinic, doctor and so on more often would be a waste of his time and mine. I alter my insulin dosage in line with trends in my blood testing. That said, if I had a problem, I wouldn't hesitate to make an appointment. Perhaps, you could ask the doctor for a referral to the local diabetes clinic. They are the specialists and your GP is only a first point of call who deals with everything under the sun. [/QUOTE]
