Ahh najh it's not too bad, I've just had a bad day today up down and all over. Go back to university in a few weeks that's sure to change my blood sugar a bit :P It's the lack of freedom that annoys me really, go or do something check blood sugar. I miss the times, when I could just get my stuff and go, but I am healthier now.

They don't normally tell u unless u fall outside of recommended ranges; I normally call my GP (discharged from Hospital consultant years ago) two weeks after bloods taken because I like to know for reference; u dont wanna straddle the limit, better to strive or best control.

Same, I always like to know my blood test results, and I usually ask for a printout so I can check the GP is correct and also compare future results against them.
