[QUOTE="Dizzyangel75, post: 505015, member: 100579"] I was told that I was being obsessive for wanting to self test! The doctor in question basically ranted at me, called me a hypochondriac and obsessive and that as long as I took my meds and stuck to my diet my BG would remain fine and I'd never need to know what it was. Incidentally, I am on gliclizide so have random hypo's as well! The same doctor also saw no need to run hbA1c blood tests! Needless to say we had quite a few heated discussions!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Classed T2 (hereditary gene on both sides of family, 4th generation diabetic) hbA1c at diagnosis (old numbers) 29.7 Last hbA1c (new numbers) 34 500mg Metformin x3 40mg Gliclizide x2 Low carb [/QUOTE]
