Message: <blockquote data-quote="Geri" data-source="post: 249627" data-attributes="member: 31848">Sorry to hear about the change around and Im surprised that you could have been under the sole care of a GP!I was referred to a Diabetes nurse at the local surgery several yers ago, but, fortunately she admitted not knowing anything about the relationship with type 1 diabetes and the other auto immune conditions that I have.  I was impressed and pleased when she told me that she couldnt take responsibility for my care and duly referred me back to the hospital clinic.  Another GP told me that there was no relationship with hypos and low thyroid levels!!!!! which thankfully, as a then new mother (meant that I was always having hypos until I saw the endo.  The short of it is that some GPs are just not up to date with problems associated with type 1.  I sincerely hope that you remain with the endocrinologist at the diabetes clinic indefinately, or that you get an up to date doctor who really know his/her stuff!  8)</blockquote>
