Message: <blockquote data-quote="paula121s" data-source="post: 1475076" data-attributes="member: 258856">Hi, before I started testing regularly I was in denial that I needed to do something about my diabetes.  I guess, out of sight out mind!  I tried losing weight but gave up and continued to put on weight.  I had a couple of big ops on my spine earlier in the year and while I was in hospital, they kept testing me.  I was horrified as it was over 17.  The Dr in hospital said about testing, I told him my DN and GP had told me I don't need to test!  He replied, how do you know what's going on.  Since then I have tested regularly, does it make me stressed, yes it can do, but that tends to be when it throws up strange results and I don't understand them or I need to be watching what I eat etc.  If I'm concerned about anything I ask on here and more often than not it's a simple answer.  As the saying goes knowledge is power!</blockquote>
