[QUOTE="Baruney, post: 911857, member: 146303"] Hola.I'm Alison who has a long term, chronic disorder that needs to be effectively managed by doctors/nurses to help me remain in the best if health, for as long as possible. Don't mind if I call you alison for short do you? Smbt is short for self managed blood testing. Which is what you are doing to work out the swing 4 to 8 for example. But as it is self managed it is therefor not accepted as a diagnosis that comes down to the hba1c. It could be said that if your hba1c's is non diabetic then you don't need to smbt. But the again it could be said that your hba1c's os a result of your smbt. That's from a medical point of view but on top of this you have to look at the budgets as dns GPs are under pressure to reduce prescription costs. Again this needs balencing out between short term costs if smbt and long term diabetic complications that may arise if you're only tested once a year but is someone else's budget problem. But it doesn't end there. As you will see from this forum there are good dns and GPs. And the treatment you get may be as diabetic or it may be as alison. Like you says there's a lot to learn.
