I have been fortunate ( i think!) in my area (Norfolk UK) of getting excellent advice which has worked for me. However a relative in another health authority (Merton and Sutton UK) is getting what looks to me to be rubbish advice; what are other people opinions of the best way to challenge...

Finally had my complete "New Starter" visit at Diabetes clinic, and they seemed happy 90+ % of BS readings in the correct range now ; Insulin slightly reduced 2x10 instead of 2x12 daily ; Hb1Ac on diagnosis (Dec 18) was 131 ! ; now down to 69 . What else do I now need to look at?
