Appreciated. But there's no reason to expect T2s to want less info than T1s get on a daily basis, granted there's insulin calculations and whatnot to be done. The point I poorly failed to make was, with the number of (expensive) complications regularly faced by uncontrolled T2's (and by that I mean, people who follow the prescribed model and only use HbA1c to monitor BG), the very least we can try as a new approach is encourage BG monitoring, no matter the diabetes type in question - particularly if they're self-funding.
With that in mind, it's somewhat insulting for a DN to imply that I'm borderline bonkers for wanting to be aware of (and therefore in control of) my BG more than twice a year / annually.
Your point is well-taken, though: we T2s face the awful long-term consequences, but T1s have far more immediate management concerns to consider.
