[QUOTE="Lucie75, post: 476643, member: 23580"] I go to my local hospital which has a designated diabetes unit, also linked with Bristol University as a teaching fellowship. I've been going there for the entirety of my diabetes (30 years) and luckily most of the consultants/nurses are still there so we all know each other really well. I had to pop in one day last year after not going there for a couple of years (I can't remember why not), as I thought I might have early dka and it was seriously like catching up with old friends. I got the necessary reassurance, had a long chat, saw lots of smiley faces and went away happy. I know I'm lucky in this respect and not everyone has this experience but it is for this very reason I'll never want to be looked after by my gp clinic. I'm sorry it's not the same for you. Can you switch clinics or are you stuck with this one because of your pump? [/QUOTE]
