[QUOTE="HpprKM, post: 98161, member: 14660"] Hi All, Many thanks for your informative and useful replies, you may well realise that I know I should be testing by the fact that I wrote the post :? In terms of how I keep my sugar down, I am completely diet only and my glucose checks at the hospital give me my results, (touch wood, and so far - all good). I can see that if that should change, or if I feel any other symptoms that I will definitely need to change all of that and start testing myself, but my GP was hesitant about self testing when I mentioned it, this means that I am unlikely to get strips through NHS, but as I pay for prescriptions that may not make much difference at this time. Finally, I am really not sure what to do with the testing, how to proceed and read and interpret the results - in addition there are many varied answers to how often and when to test. If for example I started at twice a day, would this be best in the morning and evening - and when I get up, before bedtime, or after my first and last meal of the day? Again, all of your replies are invaluable to me - as you all know - this is this site :!: [/QUOTE]
