[QUOTE="cugila, post: 97751, member: 15325"] Hi. I think that nearly everybody on this forum who is diet only tests daily, probably several times in fact. Depends what you want to know ? As one who once WAS diet only you need to check those levels more than daily, you need to check to see what is happening to your body. If you don't check you have no idea what the state of your Bg levels are until you get a HbA1c test ? Bit late then to be told, your levels are too high - you need to go on Insulin. Think of the jabs you would need to do then. Nothing compared to a few daily finger pricks ? A finger prick of blood is nothing when you think about what could happen later in your life (complications) just because you don't like a lancet and blood. There is very ittle anyway ? As for getting paranoid, well if you are that way inclined you will. I test anything from 4 to 8 times some days. That's because I want tight Bg control. I have seen many benefits from this, absolutely nothing negative. So if you think that's paranoia, well so be it. [/QUOTE]
