[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1005271, member: 88961"] I think you have to have a clear picture in your mind of what you want from your appointment, and who might deliver it. Since diagnosis, I have seen one nurse regarding my diabetes - four months after diagnosis (although I was out of the UK for that period), by which time my HbA1c had reverted to non-diabetic levels, and I had become very slim, so she had little to discuss with me. I have spoken to my GP several times about my lipids, but that has been quite positive as we both learned a lot on that journey. Personally, I wouldn't expect any specialist diabetic care from my practise these days, but early days, or if I had ever required medication, it might have been useful. As I say, the key to whom, if anyone, you see to discuss your HbA1c, is up to you, but be clear about what you want, and be prepared to express that in a polite manner when setting the scene in your appointment. Like most business meetings, I find preparation is the key. [/QUOTE]
