[QUOTE="porl69, post: 2182469, member: 334119"] Hi [USER=99684]@jackois[/USER] your GP will be aware of diabetes BUT he/she is a GENERAL practitioner and not a diabetic specialist same goes for the GPs "diabetic" nurse. A quick story about my GPs diabetic specialist nurse.....I have been on an insulin pump since February this year. I had an appointment to see the nurse to discuss my repeat prescriptions, she said to me that since I have been on the pump I have not ordered any basal insulin!!! I told her then that she is never to give me any advice on diabetes ever again!!!!! A diabetic consultant will have all the up top date info on diabetes related items such as new insulins and the likes. It would be beneficial to you and your diabetes to be seeing a consultant/DSN at your local hospital and I would be asking your GP to refer you ASAP [/QUOTE]
