[QUOTE="HarryBeau, post: 2088830, member: 329049"] I wouldn't say it's cynical or that patients are deliberately harmed however ignorance which is a major factor is not acceptable...there are health care professionals who give outdated or little advice on T2 diabetes management...I have met several from my GP who when I asked him how much he knew about T2 said 'not much' as he tried to increase my medication to the maximum amount despite dropping my HBA1C from 17.4 to 7.6 on my first review to the DSN who was critical of my BG testing and labelled me 'excessive'...the DESMOND course was ineffective...the advice I received form the GP /DSN was ineffective that's more than coincidental...if I had followed the advice I was given by the HCP's I have encountered I would be on maximum medication by now & encountering complications.
