[QUOTE="kevinfitzgerald, post: 2391638, member: 88583"] Yes indeed. I have forty years experience of living with this condition and I have found that more GP's than less have just a very basic knowledge of the condition. I never try to get too worked up with what they state regarding my Diabetes. A GP is a jack of all trades but master of none. Not saying there are no fabulous ones out there. My surgery has many fantastic GP's but if they were all Diabetes Consultants then they wouldn't be GP's! (and some Consultants are not great either!) I remember a poster at my Diabetes Clinic (St Mary's Praed Street) many years back and it stated "Be more an expert on your Diabetes than your Consultant" I've always remembered that.. [/QUOTE]
