[QUOTE="Lucylemonpip, post: 2223568, member: 515597"] On my first visit to the DN, I told her I’d got a bg monitor. She told me she felt doing this was unnecessary, as I was only just in the Diabetic range, with an HbA1c was 50, and that I wouldn’t have far to go to get below this just by losing weight and exercising. Needless to say, I ignored her advice. Went for my second HbA1c test this morning and I again mentioned that I test my bg’s. She again said she felt this was unnecessary, until in the future when I start to develop “complications” and need medication to control bg. That was heartening news, I can tell you! Needless to say, I will again ignore her advice (re not testing bg, that is). Lol. [/QUOTE]
