I was told by my DN that she doesn’t encourage T2s testing as it makes the fingers sore. I responded that I’d rather have sore fingers than no fingers!My recent visit with the GP nurse ( not diabetic nurse) said I should never have been given a home testing kit. She also said that if type 2’s continually check by getting blood from their fingers it will make the finger tips lose sensation and have neuropathy in them.
is this true?
I did think that whilst I was there but said nothingIf that was the case, all of us with Type 1 would have no sensation in our finger tips. After 17 years of pricking my finger at least 6 times a day, my fingers still feel as much as they used to.
I say "poppycock" to your GP Nurse.
You really need to ask her how T1 diabetics can manage to avoid this issue.My recent visit with the GP nurse ( not diabetic nurse) said I should never have been given a home testing kit.

is this true?
