Primary care: "Just a few hours of instruction on diabetes, while they were in medical school"

So says the misinformed NY Times. Trust me, I have had many more than a “few hours” of training in diabetes. It is poorly-researched articles like these that push patients towards unnecessary specialist care.

There should be no reason why most cases of diabetes cannot be treated appropriately in a primary care setting – without a referral to an endocrinologist. (via Medpundit)
