[QUOTE="ann34+, post: 1669800, member: 94348"] Hi, i had not realised she had been testing quite a bit during every day. The urgent care centre may not - depending on their rules - help, Those results are not terrible, especially at this time of year. I am a very long term type one, now on the pump, the hospital sees me as well controlled, yet the last 10 days take in a 20.6, a 3.1, etc - due to low level illness, and things are still not stable - 16.9 last test - but this is the nature of Type one for me at any rate . Main thing is to test and test, be hypo aware (try and avoid these at all times as the body's response to a hypo is to send out chemicals with an anti insulin effect, thus making any swings worse). It is important not to have any ketones, ketone testers are cheap on the internet if not prescribed,. Probably best, at least until proper advice, to keep carbs at the same level every day, not too low and not too high, do not eat when high blood glucose even though this is a pain, keep calm, and plough on. Being worried can itself raise or even lower blood glucose! Hopefully the GP, if both of you write the request in a letter explaining the situation, even before the appointment, will refer your fiance to a hospital clinic, but in the meantime your GP practice will have to do yearly full blood tests for diabetics, so maybe the GP, as mentioned earlier, just has not understood.
