[QUOTE="Nyxks, post: 669981, member: 116204"] First time ever, was in the endro's office today and had a girl who is leaning her trade (she's studying to become a endro - she's doing her pratical atm so is already a full doctor just not in endrocronololgy) at any rate she actually asked me why I tested so much, I was floored in all my years as a T1 i've never had my endro ask that (granted she's still learning - but still) I was like because I'm a t1 on inulin thus it means I need to make sure my numbers are within range before and after meals and at any other time during the day that I feel funny or before I drive. She was like "surly you don't have to test each and every time before you drive?" and i'm like of course I do getting behind the wheel at 4 and needing to drive for an hours would be a really BAD idea and she was like "why would you be at 4 and needing to drive for an hour?" ::face paws:: i was like because my job is very active and its not uncommon that i'll be under 5 by the end of the day and i still need to drive to the office from the job location which means a min of an hour to the office and almost two hours to drive back home so it would be a really bad idea to be low triving in traffic to n from the office. oi oi oi ... heard her and my endro talking about my testing habits and he was telling her that because of my testing habits my numbers where in range and that my mom was the same for years - to him I don't test to much maybe a bit to much on occasion but 200 strips a month isn't to many in his opinion for an insulin dependant diabetic.
