My thought has always been to bypass DUK entirely by going directly to the front line gps who have the direct responsibility for people's care. If gps were persuaded that the advice they hand out is out of date and that more modern techniques will save them hard cash on their drugs bills then DUK would soon be bypassed.
When I was first diagnosed I got my own den and subsequently my gp interested in how I was successfully managing T2 by providing them with loads of printouts of various stuff. My gp set up an after hours appointment with me so I could tell him more. Both he and my dsn have continued to actively support me since then. I even persuaded him to prescribe a reasonable amount of test strips.
