[QUOTE="AnnInDenmark, post: 1453332, member: 102501"] Hello [USER=91524]@Totto[/USER] I believe that our two countries are very similar in how things are handled, somewhat different than in Britain. I have not seen anyone specialized in diabetes, just a practice nurse who weighs, measure height and blood pressure, takes blood sample and ECG, and ticks off a list. She is a youngish, very chatty woman. When I first saw her, she was overweight after having a couple of children, talking about going to lose weight, which she actually did very fast. Because of that I thought she knew something about nutrition, and mentioned in passing that I had stopped eating potatoes (back then). Her face got an interesting blue colour, and she said something about it beeing wrong of me. That's all. I never mentioned food again. My GP tells me the results of the bloods a week later, and do the foot tickling procedure. As she is older than the nurse, and never once mentioned diet, I never had the urge to talk about it, as I would expect the same reaction from her. I do not expect a GP to know everything about every disease on earth. They work long hours and spend most of their time with patients. How can they possibly keep up with all the new science? Think of how much time we spend reading about just one disease. It's impossible. [/QUOTE]
