[QUOTE="czj, post: 365648, member: 62497"] [b]Re: Diabetic eye screening result[/b] Hi. There are probably many people here like me, who were diabetic for at least 20 years before blood testing was introduced. o blood testing itself isn't the answer to doing well. We managed, by gauging how we felt and adjusting our insulin and food accordingly. And as for clinic visits as a teenager - well my most enjoyable bit was forging 6 months worth of urine test results the night before. (I know there is a bit of survivor bias there - i.e. I am fine but probably not everyone who was diagnosed the same year as me is here to tell the tale.) Anyway, perhaps your daughter has a pretty accurate view of how her blood is doing, even if she doesn't always act on it. I try even now I try to keep my skills up (for the day the NHS decides it can no longer fund strips - relying on strips made from unicorn horn was a bad decision.) Each time I test my blood I guess what the result will be - and I am devastated if I am more than a few points out. How about trying this with your daughter? If she is close to the meter readings it could help her confidence. [/QUOTE]
