Hi :) seeing Gp tomorrow and saying hello

There is one they need a pee sample for is it albumin/creatine? But - I've only had that every couple of years for the last 20. Plus, it's never done by the D clinic, only by the GP.

I've never been to a D clinic my GP does it all...he's the practice specialist for Diabetes so he probably is just being his usual thorough self.
 
Where we live Type 1 patients are passed straight on to the hospital clinics by the GP surgery. Hence we get told about any new advances in either regime or technology and are able to discuss any personal implications thoroughly with people with the necessary specialist training. Working, full time, with diabetes clinic patients and receiving their feedback on how this or that worked for them, gives them a far superior knowledge of whether they recommend whatever it is, to more of their patients. For 5 years I was The Only patient at my GP surgery with an insulin pump hence no way could any GP there advise me on anything diabetes.
 
My GP does one day a week working the clinic at our city University Hospital...but with his allocated registered patients he prefers the surgery..suits me I can walk it.
