[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1005224, member: 21149"] Hi. The DN is following NICE and DUK guidelines which includes a list of 14 things including being weighed. In my opinion unless you are pretty incompetent about your health some of the 14 items are a waste of time for many e.g. weighing. My DNs have been quite sensible and tend to rush thru these things to just tick them. We then spend time talking about more useful things such as medication, cholesterol LDL, HDL, Trigs and of course HBA1C. Try to politely take control and show that you know about diabetes and health but be tactful. I have never asked for diet advice and have luckily escaped the NHS nonsense on this. DNs do have time to chat and listen whereas GPs tend not to listen and can be more arrogant like my Diabetes GP. [/QUOTE]
