[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 947207, member: 93179"] Don't take any notice of his stupid criticism - how on earth are you supposed to know what's happening in the here and now of you have to wait 3, 6, or even 12 months before you find out how you're doing. As my grandma used to say "sometimes they're lacking the sense they were born with!" :D For me my testing tells me what's happening in real time, and it more helpfully tells me whether my levels are steady and fairly level or whether they're spiking - something the HbA1c won't do for you. Let him work from that figure and you just keep on testing if you feel you need to. Robbity PS Actually thinking back to when I was first diagnosed I occasionally had slight funny turns too, where I felt cold and a bit woozy and couldn't get words out, and actually felt that I needed to eat something (generally) a bit sugary, but it was before I had a meter; they may have been false hypos.
