[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2313214, member: 196898"] In my county there are acouple of private health endo's. And two main hospitals with an endo dept. I was in one last year for something or other not diabetes related, and I asked to see one because I was being told to keep my sugar levels between 10 and 16, and the ward staff panicked when I was getting between 5 and 8 (on hospital food) and they considered below 8 to be hypoland. I did not get an endo, but did see the Consultant, and we had a good old ding dong about Low Carb (which I won!) and at the same time I refused Dapagliflozin to replace my gliclazide. Again I won out, but it was clear that the Consultant and the doctors on the ward only knew about T1D and assumed T2 would be treated the same. I had my computer on the ward, and shared with them 5 years of Low Carb dieting and testing, and although none of them converted, they did declare me to be technically in remission. That reputation got knocked to a cocked hat when I had the actual operation which put me onto insulin pump for a while. I have not seen a GP or Specialist since about my diabetes, but I am having my annual MOT checkup bloods tomorrow. I so not consider myself in remission but I am happy with where I am. [/QUOTE]
