Hi! Welcome @neobrainless, I hope you’ll enjoy being on here as much as I do, I’m one of the token T2s by the way… 
I’m sure our Supermod Alison will meet and greet you shortly, but Tim Almighty has just gone away on his hols, so it’ll be a fortnight before you meet him.
It’s amazing how few people really understand diabetes, especially when it comes to health care professionals. I don’t suppose we can blame documentary makers for wanting to sensationalise things, they have to keep the ratings up and documentary/public information film are not synonymous.
My current GPs and DSN are brilliant, I’ve no need to trundle off to hospital they look after me so well.
