[QUOTE="pancratic, post: 1860734, member: 137830"] An interesting discusion about GPs views and the taking of readings with a meter. Nobody has mentioned the DVLA and their diktat (sp?) that any insulin user should take a reading before they start to drive a vehicle and every 2 hours thereafter. If any GP is not issuing prescriptions for Meter Testing strips then are they aiding and abetting you if you are tested by the Police and are below the 4 unit mark? As a Type 2 on insulin I test before my Breakfast and Evening Meal to work out how much insulin to take to keep me in the correct range. I would like to add that after being Diabetic for 20 years my HbA1C has been within the "good" range only in the last 3 years, taking note of low carb food and Empagliflozin which was suggested by a Consultant.
