[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2179135, member: 365308"] I definitely get anxiety because they take my blood to check HBA1c on a finger prick so the consultant knows ahead of me how 'good' I have been and thus I have a fear of being proved wrong when asked how things have been going and I say 'okay' ! It feels like a power play depending on the attitude of the consultant. I have gotten around by asking the nurse to tell me my result before I go in. I feel that even if I have a dud HBA1c or little 'time in range' (fsl) I have never been given any useful suggestions as to how I might improve things due to the vast amount of variables that go into this. My nicest consultant just told me that as long as I was happy by diabetes would be fine! Having gone through a period of high bgs due to pain/sleep issues/cortisol jab for the afore mentioned, I now think that the opposite is true! Having great blood sugars makes me feel great again. I didn't realise how draining the high ones were getting.. [/QUOTE]
