Oof. That sounds rough. I'm sorry to hear it.

It's just ...really kind of a shit move on your doc's part not to send you to a specialist. There's basically no chance that as a GP he's ready to monitor all of the challenges that can arise from long term insulin dependent diabetes. There is a LOT to consider and probably a lot of changes you could be making to your care regimen to give you a better quality of life.

For example, if you're really terrible at glucose management you could be a prime candidate for an insulin pump. The new systems are really remarkable pieces of technology compared to what was available before, and an endocrinologist would be better suited to assessing whether or not such a system would be beneficial for you.

If you can't ask him for a referral, I suggest doing a little research on who's available and taking patients in your area. Diabetic clinics are generally only useful for people who are very recently diagnosed and need to figure out how to use their supplies and might need help with nutrition etc. They really aren't helpful for anyone who is used to managing their condition, imo.

tl;dr, see someone and get a second opinion. You will most likely be doing yourself a favour.
