[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2094479, member: 355878"] The nurse jabbed the exposed lancet into your finger - without putting the end of the holder back on? If she wasn't sure how to use it why didn't she look at the instruction book - honestly - you could not make this up. You have done really well if you are still eating rice, breakfast cereal and other grains as part of your diet - but reducing carbs is a powerful tool to reduce blood glucose, and Hba1c. Just getting rid of the beer must have taken a load of your metabolism. My doctor is not interested either - told me I was a very bad diabetic at diagnosis, not seen him since. I have always put on weight really easily - that has come back now that I am back to what for me is normal so I still avoid the carbs, even though I know I could eat far more than I do - because next day I would see that my weight had increased, so I am still eating salads and stir fries, even though I have had top end of normal results for three tests now. If you want to go on testing you might need to buy your own test strips - or perhaps get a new meter and strips which have cheap supplies - you were only supplied them due to the Gliclazide medication making it possible you would have hypos, so as you are not taking it the NHS is not likely to continue with the testing supplies. You can get a meter mail order which is not very expensive, if you need it. [/QUOTE]
