[QUOTE="TerriH, post: 2088711, member: 284021"] I continue to be amazed at how little so-called medical professionals know about diabetes in all its forms. My Annual Review is conducted by the practice nurse who knows nothing about the condition - I had 5 out of the 15 checks - and this has been going on for years. My GP knows even less and even my optician has written to the practice saying that I am anaemic when in fact I was going hypo. during my eye test. I now have to book an appointment to see someone who has not a clue about what life with diabetes is like. We have been urging medical professionals to be trained about at least the basics of diabetes but without any success whatsoever. I can only say that after 54 years of type 1, I trust myself far more than any of the medical people. Use the Forum to help learn about diabetes of all types and do as much research as you possibly can and above all rely on your instincts - how you feel physically etc. - unless you have the condition, you can NEVER know what it is like. Good luck to All diabetics. [/QUOTE]
