[QUOTE="loznew, post: 1242584, member: 328221"] I was diagnosed T2 mid July 2016 and was told not to test my blood sugars. I was given a monitor by someone at work who is Type 1 but had only used it once when first diagnosed. When I was very ill a few weeks ago I tested my blood sugar and it was 2.6. I phoned my GP Practice and the nurse who phoned me back was very abrupt when I told her I'd checked my blood sugar. I had to see my GP right away and was told I wasn't eating enough. As I'm newly diagnosed I wasn't sure if I was just ill or if the symptoms I had were related to my Diabetes. I can't understand why the nurse was annoyed at me why shouldn't I check my blood sugar level? [/QUOTE]
