[QUOTE="jackois, post: 1250050, member: 99684"] It sounds like this is another example of differing standards around the NHS. There's always a frustration should you end up at a health professional that's either behind the curve on the latest treatments or doesn't seem too interested in your diabetes. Luckily, I've fallen on my feet with them from day one. My GP had been a member of the Diabetes team at the local hospital, my Diabetes clinic are on the ball, the diabetic nurse at the surgery has her ducks in a row. I saw a dietitian 3 months after I was diagnosed Type one and again she knew what she was doing, advising that I was eating properly and fully supportive of reducing carbs, increasing fat and balanced eating. Sad to say, I arrived over half an hour before my appointment & was seen straight away as her planned appointments didn't show up. I got the impression that the spirit was slowly leaching away due to patients who didn't turn up, would turn up without filling in the eating diary and would get very upset to be told they were overweight. I think it's very easy to forget the role of the patient in healthcare and the effect this has on career health professionals. [/QUOTE]
