Morning all!
So, this happened...
Had a discussion with a GP this morning - a locum covering an absence at my surgery and she was insistent that I didn't need to test my blood sugars at all...I told her I use an Accu-Chek Mobile and needed cartridges for the pen. Not a chance for a prescription so I went and shelled out £14 or so. (I've had a prescription in the past although I bought this monitor as the GP sourced model didn't work for me). But no dice with her. Clearly, she thought I was arrogant to question. The brilliant DN at the practice who's off for the next week who advocates testing I'll speak to in due course!
Last 2 mornings I've had eggs and protein - 2 hours after eating bloods show 6.25. This morning I had oatmeal and semi skimmed milk. After 2 hours I am 11.1...if I hadn't tested how would have I known this difference and therefore equipped with data to help decide my food types??
Seems we're all wrong if this locum GP is in the mix...!
