For example, in my experience of a check up with the diabetic nurse, feet are only tested for absence of sensation. Pins and needles, discolouration, etc. dismissed, even if I raise it. I had diabetic neuropathy for years without knowing it. And encouraging T2 patients to self-monitor, even if not including the testing strips, would help enormously. I've been told T2 shouldn't monitor.</p></blockquote><p></p>
