Nothing yet but I'm due to see my GP in two weeks for my HbA1c and a whole gamut of other things I'm keeping an eye on like cholesterol and kidney function. My neuropathy is very mild and doesn't appear to be progressing very quickly. Some days I get slight pain in my toes but not too much. mostly it just feels a little numb. My BG has been good for so long now that I'm not convinced that it is diabetic related. I'll keep pushing for an answer.

I think I need immediate results and the testing seems to be a good fit for me.

The positive reinforcement strategy works for me @flexi06. I used to graze on food throughout the day without thinking about what I was eating. With testing part of my daily routine I find that I will have a meal then avoid eating til I test 2 hours later. It helps keep me honest and on track and is worth every penny. Actually, with what I have saved on food costs, it's a real bargain!;)

Very succinctly put- actually happened to me today- I’m really tired and hungry and feel awful and I wanted food earlier but new I was due a test and I’m focused on lowering bg, so I did not have any. Much easier to “ cheat” if there are no immediate consequences. I think testing will keep me in check too. Thanks sweetie.
 
I had neuropathy reduced kidney function and retinopathy on diagnosis I now longer have retinopathy but am committed to try stopping the other two getting worse so have to keep blood sugars under control and so will carry on testing indefinitely..
