Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="cornylady" data-source="post: 2689774" data-attributes="member: 585018">By the time I actually got to see the DN I had made the decision to self fund a libre2 (T2) and had over a weeks data.  During our appointment she never mentioned testing till I brought it up at the end and said I had a CGM and offered to show her the data.  Her response was she had never seen one except in her training.  I found the whole experience very frustrating - including the poor advice on diet. I was scheduled to see the GP a few days later.  I did tell them it was not a positive experience but I don't think they wanted to listen, although the GP was much better and supported my approach of wanting to manage the T2 with diet rather than medication.  I have been unendingly grateful to find this forum.  It has helped me so much.  I am currently 2 months in and predicted HbA1c on CGM is now 38 compared to my starting point of 55.  I know that is only a guide but I've seen my numbers improve over the weeks and feeling much more confident in what I am doing, thanks to this group.Also to add - the DN was not new and actually had a student in with her, so she was training someone else!</blockquote>
