[QUOTE="Tabbyjoolz, post: 1444867, member: 326717"] I can see Muir Gray's POV on this, particularly after my diabetes check-up last week. The nurse (a new one and rather nice) was delighted with my progress and even more delighted when she realised I wasn't on medication. She handed me the Hba1C form and the specimen bottle, and told me I would need to make an appointment with the specialist doctor at the practice to discuss results. The specialist doctor is the one I refuse to see; she insisted I saw him because he specialises in "chronic" cases and the doctor I usually see is "just a GP". I argued that I am not a chronic case at this stage and am more than happy to see said "just a GP" as overall this one has been broadly supportive. She took my point. Unfortunately our healthcare providers love to categorise us even though we all have very different needs. [/QUOTE]
