Just been for my Blood results today and thankfully things fine.
I was told by the practice nurse Do you know you don't need to test BG if youre only on Metformin?
and that the latest thinking was that its been decided testing isn't needed. Stand by for a refusal of test strips !!!
Of course there was no mention of the a decision made due to cost implications ( there wouldn't be would there?) As ive been testing reasonably regularly since I was diagnosed and always had the reassurence that i could test if i was feeling unwell. Strange how the best advice can be turned around due to a cost implication.
I live on the Blackburn Lancashire Area so i'm guessing this is going to pan out with other Health Centres in the areas
