[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 279105"] that doesn't sound like good management Ian... your poor friend. An endo is a hormone specialist. It was only through my endo that I found out hormones actually play a part in controlling your blood pressure and cholesterol also. This is why they are concerned in managing BGLs, BP, and cholesterol for diabetics. But the endo would be a lot more useful as they have the experience behind them and here they're not happy at all unless your HbA1c is <7% ..... although the less the better. Also here it's only the endo's that can order the C-peptide and GAD tests... GP's can only order the HbA1c test. But technically they say diabetes is under control when <7%. But my endo pretty much discusses everything with me. They even offer a diabetes social worker... which I only found out through him as he spent a session explaining to me the importance of mental health for diabetics. My endo teaches other endos apparently... so he is well respected here. He works alongside another well known and respected endo here too. [/QUOTE]
