Agreed there.!I’m incredibly lucky. My nurse says test. She is able, as a nurse practitioner, to sign them. However the way it works at my practice is whoever is duty dr signs repeat requests. So other gp’s including locums have also signed the repeat prescriptions once it was placed on the system by her without question despite more than one of them individually being out of the ark. Makes me wonder if they look beyond the list of what’s on repeat before signing though!
Never give up!My diabetic nurse told me to test and record results, my diabetic GP told me not to. I give up!
I was going in hospital for a procedure in November last year and had to see the diabetic nurse because my blood sugars were bordering high for an op 70 the nurse gave me a monitor blood strips and lancets to check my bloods and bring the readings down which helped me enormously. I have since tried to check my blood intermittently and when they go over 7 I pull back and sort myself out. I have run out of the blood strips and have been told by my doc that because I am only on one tablet, metformin, they won’t give me a prescription and it protocol. It’s possible I may have to have a knee replacement and want to check my bloods more often and keep the readings good but he won’t budge ??This is not about whether the NHS should, or can afford to, provide test strips on a permanent or temporary basis to non-T1 diabetics. Having read #EveryCloud ’s post, and so many more like it over the years on this forum, I wonder whether we could gather together examples of Healthcare Professionals who have told people that it is either unnecessary or just plain wrong to test their blood sugars. It is a scandal that needs highlighting.
Is diaremedium diabetes patch legit?
It is licensed in the USA as a “cosmetic product” so probably about as much use as lipstick...Is diaremedium diabetes patch legit?
Usually we'd suggest immediately before eating and then 1 and 2 hours after the first mouthful to gauge the full effect. The aim for a "safe" food would be to back at pre-prandial levels after 2 hours or very close to.How often must one test after a new food being introduced ?
Makes sense . ThanksI don't know anything about it, but it feels like if it was legit everyone would be using it and the NHS would be prescribing it. I can't see how it could work.

They mention a 3000 person study yet don’t give a link to the publication.. usually a sign of being well dodgy!
My bg has been higher 2 hours after eating. Is an increase of less than 2 mmol/l considered ok ?Usually we'd suggest immediately before eating and then 1 and 2 hours after the first mouthful to gauge the full effect.

Yes. No more than 2mmol rise before and 2hrs after is desirable. Less is even better. And ideally no scores above 7.8 at 2 hrs but that might take some time to achieve, but it’s a goal as that is the level that damage reportably might start to occur at.My bg has been higher 2 hours after eating.
