[QUOTE="Smallbrit, post: 1705626, member: 456748"] The subject has never been brought up by me or by the diabetic nurse/GP about testing in the four years I've been back in the UK from living in the US. I only knew about testing from having gestational diabetes in the US in 2006, I had a one-hour appointment with a nutrition specialist who explained everyhing - when and how to test, how to count carbs, what ranges to stay in, and what to eat and not to eat - three days after being diagnosed. I would be so lost now if I hadn't had that appointment. The only thing that a GP has said about it, when I started vaguely carb counting, without a meter, and got HBAC1 numbers to drop from 89 to 76 in 3 months was "keep doing what you are doing". I don't think vaguely carb counting without a meter is a good way forward.... [/QUOTE]
