[QUOTE="stevebygrave, post: 259744, member: 42818"] The policy for this doesn't seem to be aligned between all the health authorities. I've just moved to Derby from London and in Derby they manage diabetics differently (effectively). Firstly, the nurse takes on primary responsibility now for diabetics (in London, I had a doctor who really wanted me out the room as soon as possible). Secondly, they have a selection of 3 glucose monitors for patients to pick and they fully support this method of managing diabetes (London had a reluctant glucose meter policy). Why this is not standardised across the country is completely beyond me. Surely it could actually save money in the long-term by enabling people to manage their condition more effectively and thus become less reliant on medication. Your hba1c could be consistently high and the only way to lower that is to monitor the impact of everything that you put in your mouth! It seems like a no-brainer to me, but what do I know? :crazy: [/QUOTE]
