Can you believe this.

What?

I was trying to help by telling you what I was told by DVLA when first dx'd,that diet control can be scuppered by not eating at the right times and stress from driving, still what do I know I couldn't make it by diet only

I know your saying what you were told over the phone.

Ok I think it is because you are on Insulin.
Diet only is unlikely to hypo. Unless you have Gnosher syndrome.

No 'g' please!

I once had a friend whose surname was 'Eatwell' and he was nicknamed 'Nosher'. Just thought I would share that with you.

I was told by the nurse I that I'm testing too much!!.
I test b4 a & 2hrs after meals & bedtime. So I know if what I've eat has been dealt with by the body.
She claims I only need to test morning &.b4 bed, what on earth is that going to tell me?

Eejits, all. I suffer from bilateral proliferative retinopathy, have had several sessions laser (well, actually over 20 all told...) between the two eyes, now have fibrosis...

Frankly I NEED to keep my sugars low.

As I say- eejits.

Hello.
Are you t1 or t2? I'm t1 and had a similar issue. I had a repeat prescription refused (they didn't bother to let me know, pharmacy had to tell me which was rather embarrassing!), phoned GP and was told by the receptionist that I should only be testing up to 6 times per day! Woah I was fuming!
Anyhoo, I rang my diabetes nurse and she wrote to the GP to say they can't restrict my strips. Now there's a note on my file to say no restriction.

Hope that helps!

DVLA rules state that you must test before driving and every two hours whilst behind the wheel, even if you are only on diet control or tablets as you can still have a hypo.

You think they'd want us to test and have good control
