What’s one of those?
I’ve never seen one! Nor an endocrinologist or a GP for that matter. I’ve had a handful of appointments at the diabetes clinic at the Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle and saw a DSN, who TBF is/was marvellous. This was only after nagging the DSN/general nurse at my GPs for years. apparently I wasn’t a “real” Type 1 so couldn’t go on a DAFNE course ( carb counting). The DSN at the clinic changed my type so I could access technology in the future, pump, CGM etc , put me on the course, got me Libre on prescription and generally made me feel as if I did count. I just see ( well, speak now since the pandemic) my surgery DSN yearly. Because I’m well controlled with no issues, they just leave me alone. If I needed some specialist help I’m sure it would be forthcoming. One of the guys I was on the DAFNE course with was from Penrith so I can only assume Penrith Hospital don’t deal with diabetes.
Just to add. I had my op at The Freeman Hospital in Newcastle. So I obviously had aftercare from them but I didn’t become diabetic until three years after my operation.
