[QUOTE="grannyx3, post: 1927090, member: 113623"] GPs at my surgery have nothing to do with diabetes support/management etc, it is given by a nurse. I see her once a year for HbA1c, BP check, weight. I am asked if I am still taking Novo Rapid & Levemir insulin, glances at my feet and off I go for another year. Absolutely useless!! I was discharged by the hospital 10 years ago and have self managed my diabetes by ignoring the nurse! It's brilliant if you have a good informed nurse to talk to, but not everyone has. I've been type 1 for 52 years + and have no complications. Phew! After a BIG battle I have succeeded in being referred back to the hospital to the care of a consultant. There are some brilliant diabetes nurses throughout the country and some very supportive GPs but not everyone has access to them. It is surely our right to be properly cared for [/QUOTE]
