[QUOTE="sbnz, post: 1965398, member: 329053"] It seems to be an issue all over the place. I'm a type 1 in New Zealand. Some regional diabetes clinics here seem to get good reviews from their patients re their efforts and understanding of the conditions and best managements but a lot fall short - including mine in many ways. Medical care in many ways suffers from its status as a career path - yes Doctors and Nurses etc deserve respect for their efforts in training and application - however they in our government systems are largely entrusted with our healthcare, even when it's acceptable for them to no longer update their knowledge and over and above those that challenge that status quo. Basically it's up to individuals to gather their info, team up with others with similar needs and call for change. The internet can be a huge aid in this self-empowerment - take the complaint to a forum that aims to transform it. Create that forum. No apologies for my soapbox. Embrace your health. [/QUOTE]
