I can really optimize my arb/statin/sglt2i dose
Even glp1 is available to me
I start my long acting insulin in quite a number of patients
I have good nursing support.
I even can counsel patients on diet, teach them saturated fat and read food product label

I asked them open their handphone app to show me the steps they taking teach day
And keep on drilling them the three pronged approach

Diet
Exercise
Medicine

I worked in polyclinic before as a baby MO.
And locum quite extensively in my early days
Impossible to do above.
The fp clinic in polyclinic can.
15 minutes per patient and I keep seeing the same patients
Fine tune until swee swee. Many issues this visit cannot sort out next visit I work on it
Till some brilliant guy came up with teamlet model.
Work well on paper la. Useless in real life. The teamlet keep changing doctor, this visit I start something the next doctor go do stupid things . Other times I don't even know what the hell was going thru the previous rp mind. It's easy for the useless pinoy , Malaysian and Indian rp to just cont med , patient decline titration and see 3 months. Sometimes see liao very disgusted. Anaemia keep repeating fbc and throw to next doctor to settle.

U endocrinologist really just see diabetes? U sound very fam med lei
Or u work at the diabetes clinic in admiralty ?
