[QUOTE="DaisyDuke 2, post: 2352767, member: 472479"] Considering I’ve not been called for a blood test in the past year, I think it’s very important. Oh correction they called me for a test in October, but then forgot to test my sugars! whilst I ruffle no what I can eat each day, sometimes I experiment with different things and it’s good to see the effect this has on your blood. Otherwise food would become very boring. Plus, I can virtually eat the same over a two week period but my blood be higher one week to the next, or I could eat a bit more or try a new recipe, by testing this enables me to alter my diet to keep things under control. For example, If my blood does not come down enough after brekkie I just miss lunch, it I hadn’t tested I would not have know this.. If my blood is a bit high after dinner, I do some exercise to bring it down. If I can’t test, I would have no idea what was going on and be putting my health at risk, which would put the NHS under more pressure. Plus, I’m quite fond of my toes [/QUOTE]
