I have a Family/General Practice Doctor and a Endocrinologist; both of them know full well that I have worked to be knowledgeable about my own condition and they are willing to work with me. I see the Endo. every 6 months for a check up and although he originally started most of my medications, I usually get my refill scripts from my GP. I manage my own insulin... no question.
