[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1083879, member: 53162"] Sadly I think you have hit a 'rogue' consultant here. I have had a quick scan on the NICE guidelines and found this: [SIZE=3][B]Self-monitoring of blood glucose[/B][/SIZE] [B]Frequency of self‑monitoring of blood glucose[/B] 1.6.10Advise routine self‑monitoring of blood glucose levels for all adults with type 1 diabetes, and recommend testing at least 4 times a day, including before each meal and before bed. [new 2015] As an adult you are entitled to test whenever necessary to manage your condition, and when you include driving this can increase alot more. Perhaps a more firmer approach on your next visit if questioned over this, otherwise continue as normal, however if you're not getting constructive support in helping manage your BG then see if you can see another consultant, or speak to your DSN.
