Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 527103" data-source="post: 2702567">NICE guidelines are for everyone with diabetes to be offered stations when they are over 50.When I was first told about this, I was told it is based on the additional risk of heart disease for people with diabetes and the reduced risk was based on an old study of people who are overweight and do no exercise.As I am a healthy weight and exercise most days, I declined but get asked every year.This year, I was told that people with diabetes experience BG that goes higher and lower than someone without diabetes and the BG swings put extra strain on our hearts. This made me think a bit more about them but, as my BG is in target 85% of the time, I declined again.</blockquote>
