Yes
I believe GPs have a financial incentive for getting good results from people with diabetes.
Each year, I am invited to my GP surgery for my annual diabetes review even though I am managed through the dedicated clinic at the hospital.
I decline the invite and ask for this to be added to my records.
The same thing happens the next year.
Once I politely asked what value this would be for me but the surgery nurse never got back to me.
The next year, I had time so thought I would find out They did a single blood test, hba1c and I had a chat with a nurse who asked what long acting insulin I took. She has access to my records so can see I am on an insulin pump which only uses fast acting insulin. She also.asked me if, after more than 15 years on insulin, I had ever had a hypo.
Since then, I have taken their offer of a hba1c test but declined the appointment to review it with someone who has no idea about me, my diabetes regime and my treatment.
The mid year hba1c is a useful check in for me and, I think, gives their accountants what they need
