Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bluenosesol" data-source="post: 165447" data-attributes="member: 20149">Guys,I have been diagnosed with T2 for approx 18 months now and not 100% sure what a HCP is. My best NHS advice has probably come from DN's , though my best overall advice has without a shadow of a doubt come from the internet. My grandson was born with a rare condition 2 years ago, his pedeatrician of 20 years dismissed my concerns about him as an over reactive first time grandparent. With a few hours of internet research, I diagnosed a rare condition that affects 1 in 50,000 births. I sent the consultant a comprehensive clinical assessment method from the University of California and the next day, he asked to see me and my daughter to confirm my diagnosis. So 20 years of pediatric experience versus a few hours of internet research???I am now a committee member of the UK family support group of this rare disease. NEVER belittle the efforts of those who use the internet or indeed the power of the internet as a useful and contributing resource. After all, without it, this forum would not exist!.All the best Steve</blockquote>
