[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1407924, member: 245335"] I suppose part of your problem is how to cope with a GP who might be an idiot. I've only just had a chance to read the thread you mentioned, what a lot happens in an hour or two. I have a suggestion which I'll repeat in case you miss my other reply. Just in case your GP suggests not monitoring, ask him/her how you are supposed to know if your life style changes and his/her prescribed medication is working if you have to wait a year for an HbA1c which only reflects the previous 8 - 12 weeks and even then doesn't show peaks and troughs. How can you avoid the complications of being diabetic if you don't know what your BG is doing. I sincerely hope that you have a sensible intelligent meeting with your GP. [/QUOTE]
