[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 2149707"] I feel that the key here is to educate on the [I]importance[/I] of testing and let patients work out the best individual strategy for themselves, if they wish. Personal experience will always trump the advice of HCPs who will never experience all the nuances of glucose management. I know I sound like a broken record with this, but I stress again that, in my opinion, it is imperative to STOP telling people NOT to test. Let them buy their own equipment without derision if the wish, and support them on their mission to fix their diabetes instead of treating them like idiots. [B]EDIT: [/B]There is no more irritating human on planet Earth than a know-it-all nurse castigating patients who have forgotten more about diabetes than he/she will ever know. [/QUOTE]
