[QUOTE="cugila, post: 110054, member: 15325"] Par for the course in most areas I think ? I too have a friend who is on Insulin and was advised to test once daily at the same time, on waking. Not surprisingly he gets consistent readings of around 5-6 mmol/l. He thinks he is well controlled. However, for several months now he has been getting all the symptoms of retinopathy, neuropathy, putting on weight and all manner of other ailments which I am sure are due to him running high Bg levels. This idea of testing at times other than what the DN or GP tells him is not for him. THEY - know best. I fear for him and his health but just cannot get through to him that what he is doing is not good for him.......all because of some 'bean counter' somewhere who hasn't the faintest idea what costs are doing to people and their lives. Sad...... :( [/QUOTE]
