Doctor D referred himself to the GMC after he was diagnosed with diabetes.

The doctor was following the advice of his GP on how best to manage his condition. He was also receiving effective support from the occupational health department at his place of work.

The GMC decided that there were no concerns about the doctor’s ability to practise medicine safely so there was no need for us to take action to protect the public.
