I am 23yo Type 1. Recently I moved to a different part of the country. Previously I attended 6 monthly appointments at the diabetes clinic at a nearby hospital. When I registered with my GP here, they said they will take take of my diabetes check-ups. So I went along to the first one, with a practice nurse. I got weighed and my Hba1c tested and then was asked if I have any questions. I was a bit surprised that mu BG levels, insulin, diet etc. weren't discussed in a bit more depth as I was used to. I got the impression that the nurse didn't have any specialist knowledge about diabetes and was just done a form filling type exercise.
I am wondering if anyone else can related to this and would it be worthwhile if I go ahead and ask to be transferred to the diabetic clinic at the hospital?
