[QUOTE="Emmyb, post: 2348292, member: 535323"] Hi, I was livid when the pharmacist at my GP practice said I didn’t need to test any more, especially when my Hospital consultant had said because of the way my Type 2 had come on that I should always test. I discussed it with the consultant at the hospital who re-ordered testing to be re-instated. I am appalled by the thoughtless care given to Type 2 diabetics. I am a in my early 60’s and am a fairly articulate professional. Since diagnosis I am horrified as I have seen a lot of elderly folk with Type 2 just abandoned to get through whatever way they can. I have read the NICE guidelines and am unimpressed with how they are interpreted by some professionals in the light of a patient’s clinical context. As I’m still working I have bought and learned to use Freestyle Libre. I refuse to give control of my health over to someone who won’t even read the clinical notes supplied by the hospital consultant. [/QUOTE]
