Hello, does anyone have any experience if being treated here for their diabetes, any feedback on the service and care please. I am thinking of transferring to it.

Thanks

I'm at Guy's and St Thomas' - they treat you as a single trust, and the senior consultants cover both hospitals. I got my pump through them and the DSN that I work with there is good. They also haven't turned their noses up at low carb either.
 
Thanks, was a little worried about the low carb thing, since most nhs advice is contrary to it. Are the DSN quite accessible? My current dsn is acessible quite easily and wondered if going to a big hospital would change that. Any other tips welcome from anyone.

They're not too bad. The one I use usually responds via email when it's necessary, although I don't really have need of a phone number.
