[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1084043, member: 211504"] I think he was validating your need to test as often as you do. No need to be unpleasant about it as he didn't say anything wrong. In regards to your situation, was the consultant aware that you were a type 1 and not a type 2? That could certainly explain the unpleasant experience and the consultant's reasoning behind not testing. Furthermore, whenever I here an answer I'm not comfortable with, I make sure the person giving it to me can explain their reasoning. What was the consultant's explanation for telling you that testing 5 times a day was unnecessary? Did you ask? The details of your experience are a bit vague so it's hard to get an accurate understanding of the dialogue that occurred. This could be a case of apathy on the consultant's part, or it could be a simple misunderstanding of the situation. After all, doctors are human too and they make mistakes. [/QUOTE]
