99% of DSNs also deserve that sort of recognition. The skills required are far wider than just knowing a helluva lot about diabetes, let's face it! Sometimes you just get a specialist nurse who is good at whatever it is. With DSNs I've always had a best friend. I noticed the difference when Pete had prostate cancer !
