[QUOTE="Unbeliever, post: 226369, member: 30851"] When they say you can't do anything about you results I think they mean in the short term or immediately. This is not true of course. My DSN seems utterly shaneless to me. In the past when my readings were high{ due to stress and inability to exercise because of visual problems} she spent her whole time pestering me to begoin t insulin. Becuase I had very little faith in her knowledge of medication {wih good reason} and I would have been taking insulin and medicaiton , I fought tooth and nail to avoid this, Now my control is much better she just agrees to everything I say because I am no longer messing up her figures. She seems to find it quite amusing that she doesn't remember the names of new drugs and treatments so I am guessing that few patients are offered these treatments It is all the more worrying because the Gps in my practice dissociate themselves from anything connected with diabetes. I read a suggesion on the DUK site a few monhs ago that specialist nurses would take over the mangement of several different diseases and conditions. Replace Gps in fact.This has already happened in effect.in my practice. I imagine it is so that Practices can discard expensive patients such as ldiabetics . If this is to happen then the sort of thing the Diabetic Nurses are saying becomes even more frightening. [/QUOTE]
