[QUOTE="womble, post: 2060401, member: 42138"] In Scotland we have SIGN guidelines so you find Drs use a combination of both when making decisions but at end of day they are only guidelines not policies so Drs are expected to use a bit of their medical knowledge & common sense when making decisions!! GP recently upped my medication & told me i should test my BS every morning & that was it.! Had to go source & pay for my own glucometer, strips & lancets as they never even offered me one! I am doing blood sugar diet so asked if i could get support from dietician in the surgery.....i got invite to a healthboard wide open day for newly diagnosed diabetics (ive been T2 for 8years) who need to understand diet...honestly!!! Ive therefore booked myself a private appt with a naturopath. I work for NHS & have done so for a very long time & i think on the whole its a good service. However, i feel a lot of people with T2 diabetes are being let down by the service & GPs not that interested[emoji848]x Sent from my SM-G930F using [URL=http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=67]Diabetes Forum mobile app[/URL] [/QUOTE]
