[QUOTE="wizardo, post: 447015, member: 59601"] I'm afraid that my experience of these diabetic specialist nurses is not good. I think with a bit of reading around the subject it is not difficult to match their knowledge levels. They look for easy fixes, eg carrier bags full of pills, which I don't think are necessarily the best solutions. I attended a desmond session where a couple of diabetic expert nurses held sway for a day long course. They were patronising and I suspect had about 5 GCSEs between them. Sure, they were talking to some clueless clots on the course but when they started telling me that you shouldn't drink alcohol because it is sugar then I'm afraid that we had a verbal ruck. They don't like being challenged. I found their attitude negative and depressing. It doesn't have to be like that and there are loads of foods and drinks that diabetics can really enjoy. Being diabetic has not had one jot of impact on my life just a few changes to diet. The only drawback is the exercise which I don't always feel like doing, but needs must. [/QUOTE]
