Dissertation on diabetes!

I'd like to think diabetics on no meds and manage on diet control wouldn't have much use for a NHS nurse? Only a dn once a year.
And as been proven they only know the basics to tell gp. Even gp refer to endo once not controlled. Dn under a gp isn't authorised to change meds, gp has to do that.
US nurses have more authority but are paid whey more than NHS nurses because of that.

Most nurses are NHS. dn could mean district nurse or diabetic nurse, not sure which you were referring to but diabetic nurses are specialists and are usually the ones to recommend the diabetic medication for the GP to prescribe. Nurse practitioners are highly qualified nurses and do have the ability to change medication.
U.K. nurses are poorly paid but that is not preventing them from progressing
