[QUOTE="covknit, post: 1460541, member: 346585"] Somewhere I read an article about how to identify a good gp from a bad. Amongst the list was an entry saying that if the gp referred your routine diabetes care to a diabetic nurse we should know the nature of the nurses qualifications and the date of their most recent update training. I am sure that the article was aimed at patients outside the UK, probably the USA but the point made should not be lost on us. You could ascertain what the qualification and training regime for NHS diabetic nurses is. I would like to know for my own information. With that information in mind prepare a new data sheet to represent your own results. Then make another appointment with your dn to discuss your case with your latest meter readings. During your conversation you can say something along the lines of "I read recently that XYZ is the latest thinking, when was your last update course?" If you can do it non confrontationally you may be able to work together in increasing each others knowledge. In a less than that ideal world you should at least gain an insight into the era of the tickbox list being used. [/QUOTE]
