[QUOTE="Zilsniggy, post: 1732075, member: 222691"] As a nurse myself, I'm well aware that nurses do have a registration to protect. I was referring to HCAs, who at present do not have to meet any of these requirements! The sooner they have to be on a register and there is a legal requirement for continued professional development, the better, in my experience. As for the DSN being more knowledgeable than the consultant, that is entirely possible, although I have to say I am very happy with my consultant, who is an endocrinologist and extremely supportive of my decision to go low carb. He was over the moon when my HBA1c went from 90 odds to 42 in 6 months! Whereas all I got from the dietician, DSN and HCA was complete patronisation. Not one of them had any idea what I was talking about. [/QUOTE]
