[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1605451, member: 438800"] To my knowledge, in the UK and also in the USA where I am, the front-line of diabetic treatment is through your family doctor and specialist nurses. There are, of course, diabetes specialists but in America you would have to get your family doctor to refer you to one. Family doctors are properly trained to deal with the more common cases of diabetes. The illness is so common nowadays that specialists would fast become overwhelmed if they had to treat all of those who get diabetes. I agree with [USER=414280]@Kentoldlady1[/USER] that the main thing you need right now is a lot more information from your GP. [/QUOTE]
