[QUOTE="Munkle, post: 1718900, member: 469161"] After having troubles from my GP due to testing too much I went to my endo and he came out with "4 tests a day should be enough for you, no?". Literally the minimum testing they can give. They already know I'm active in strength sports and I quite like to know my level before doing 'dangerous' lifts (330lbs+ benchpress for example). Pretty sure the NICE guidelines even say to allow a t1 to test before, during, and after exercise. That's 3 strips alone. Got given a freestyle libre trial but that lasts for 2 weeks only and prescription is not covered in my area. I've been told numerous times my control is too tight, and other times that my control is near perfect/is perfect. I wonder how much diabetic burn out or hopelessness is caused by doctors. [/QUOTE]
