[QUOTE="forty six, post: 674280, member: 72202"] My surgery still insists on fasting as it gives a better picture for liver and kidney function. They have never tested for LDL or triglycerides as it costs too much and by that I mean a hell of a lot too much. Therefore the breakdown that you are given at the GP's only has 2 correct figures in it out of 4 and the rest are just a guess. Although when I pointed this out to my DB nurse she said it wasn't a guess but a 'scientific estimate' - I said how can it be scientific and an estimate as science is based on evidence? Anyway she has now told me that they are now being told to advise cutting carbs again! Hooray, hooray, hooray. Why can't we have some consistency in the treatment of diabetes across the country? Everyone seems to get a different level of service! [/QUOTE]
