[QUOTE="sally and james, post: 1004828, member: 93504"] My husband had a letter recently asking him to spend 30 minutes with the the practice nurse (who got given the "diabetes" badge when the last DN left). He has declined. He can weigh himself, measures his own blood pressure, can inspect his own feet, test his own blood sugars, interpret an HbA1c result, isn't going on statins under any circumstances (so why measure cholesterol?) and certainly isn't taking dietary advice from an obese nurse. He is well, very fit, takes no diabetes medication (all thanks to low carb) and has his eyes checked by a specialist. There is no need to see a nurse. No, [USER=113571]@KittyKatty[/USER] you are not being pig headed, just not wasting your own time or that of a nurse. If you feel you need medical advice, you need to speak to a doctor. Sally [/QUOTE]
