[QUOTE="AndyS, post: 439356, member: 20775"] Don't usually have much call to visit the Dr, though I have been lucky with my last 3. All of them have admitted that my control is amazing and that I understand the condition much better than they do so have more or less left me to it and sign of the prescriptions when I ask for them. My DN's are awesome though. While I haven't had much need to contact them when I have emailed them or called they have been very helpful. The specialists when I go in to hospital for my annual check up are a different matter. They seem to insist on always trying to talk to me like a child when I know what I am doing and I usually come away having to have more tests because they don't believe my logs or blood results. This year they wanted me to have a CGM sensor for a week since they were convinced I was having lots of hypos that I didn't notice and insisted that my levemvir dose was too high. The DN that fitted the sensor agreed with me that this was probably a pointless exercise but it would at least put the results on record so that the Dr's will probably believe me next time round. All in all since I look after things myself I have never had problems, the fun and games has always been when I have moved surgeries and have to sign up with a new Dr and convince them that I know what I'm doing. It's a shame that we cant get some kind of accreditation, or have the Dr's properly recognise DAFNE so that they will not treat us like idiots. /A [/QUOTE]
