[QUOTE="BooJewels, post: 1084502, member: 181094"] I would [I]guess [/I]that as your body starts digesting the meal and the various hormones start working to deal with the intake of fuel, your pancreas starts producing insulin to deal with the incoming energy and therefore your blood sugar lowers slightly at the point where there's more insulin floating round, but before the new food enters the blood stream. I would suggest that for every patient that does become obsessed with their BG, there are 20 who just don't care a jot and have no intention of testing. On here we talk regularly about lack of test strip prescribing - but anyone who gets as far as joining places like this for information and support is probably pretty motivated to start with. There must be a significant amount who just don't bother with any testing between the doc/DN taking blood every 6 months. Which is why you'd think that the medics would celebrate the small percentage who want to take ownership of their own condition and try to help themselves the best they can. You'd think the price of testing materials for a few would be offset by their reduction in meds and reliance on other forms of support from the NHS. [/QUOTE]
