[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 2179207, member: 468055"] I used to dread it but have developed a few strategies to help with what is a big day for us, but nothing out of routine for them. I ring in advance to get my HbA1c result (I go for the test a week or two beforehand) so it’s not a surprise. Then. I treat it like a business meeting - I dress smart, print an agenda for what I want to discuss and that way I don’t forget anything. I request what changes I may want - different insulin, tech, etc and justify it with research and NICE guidelines if I can. I’m also prepared with evidence (CGM graphs, research results) to back up my slightly unorthodox approach to my T1 management. [/QUOTE]
