[QUOTE="HarryBeau, post: 2115379, member: 329049"] That's something I have wondered about many of the HCP's I've encountered Debs...it's not something I would target solely at DUK...for example the dire DESMOND courses which provide little apart from confusion in the most patronising condescending way...those 'educators' have to be paid...once when perusing the internet I saw an ad for training to become an instructor it's expensive so the 'investment' must be worth however the rewards are plentiful...as for GP practices refunding money to the NHS I can't see that happening willingly Dr Unwin seems the exception...many of these HCP's services are privately run... our GP surgeries are private partnerships the NHS is their biggest contractor...I believe there is a culpability culture with T2 (and certain other conditions) after all it is our own fault...we are all sloth like overweight ignorant/apathetic creatures who thoroughly deserve to develop T2 diabetes...they take no account of any familial connection...no genetic pre-disposition we are regularly slated in the press & presented as the likely cause of impending NHS bankruptcy...as I have said so often there is a lot of money in the mismanagement of T2 (and other health condition)...could you imagine those poor CCG members not able to draw their often six figure salaries...our GP's who do work hard but are well rewarded I know my own GP was on roughly 120k a year...of course there is the added benefit of being self employed i.e tax advantages...so it's a number of issues we need to tackle...the most important one being adequate trials of alternative diets & management of T2...but most importantly getting them (whoever that may be) to listen to us...ask us what we need because no one knows our diabetes as we do.
