[QUOTE="Vettriano, post: 1221416, member: 320538"] I am so glad it's not just me having this experience. I am newly diagnosed and my first appointment with my DN was pointless. I left feeling more confused than when I arrived, she told me conflicting advice to the handouts she gave me. I was also informed that there are education courses available but they don't send everyone and she would check with the doctor to see if I needed to go, no urine sample tested. She seemed really focused on how my test results were so high for someone of my age. Frustrated doesn't begin to describe it. My saving grace is my sister who is diabetic also and a district nurse manager so is very knowledge on both fronts, her medical experience where she lives has been completely different to mine and she tells me the care I should be getting.
