Message: <blockquote data-quote="wpaisley" data-source="post: 165848" data-attributes="member: 4726">I have met and been treated by some very good practitioners and some real idiots.  Unfortunately it was the idiots who treated me first.  I only realised their lack of knowledge after I lost 10kg in 6 weeks, had an ulcerated leg and all the usual symptoms.  I then resolved to become an expert in diabetes because I needed to control my treatment.  The advice I give to any diabetic is become an expert patient in your particular type of diabetes.  Far too many diabetics do not understand their condition and so are not in a position to judge their doctors properly.  I have met far to many diabetics who trust their doctors but are suffering from diabetic complications.  I should add that I have chosen good care now.  I am now in a position to judge my care.  So folks, BECOME AN EXPERT, YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.My one complaint is that after I becoming well with my diabetes and getting a low HbA1c, my GP who did not know about diabetes, gets a bonus.  No justice in this world</blockquote>
