It would probabaly depend on how good your control was and whether or not you have neuropathy. Provided you do not have neuropathy the increase risk of infection will only occur if you do not keep your bgs within the normal range.

"This sounds to me very much like a case of someone assuming that if you have diabetes you must have poorly controlled bg or whatever."

Thats the kind of thing I would expect from a GP, but a poor show from someone who supposidly specialises in diabetes!!!
