[QUOTE="digigaia, post: 186809, member: 33510"] A little research can go a long way. I am surprised the Diabetic Nurse has not been instructed to get you a testing kit, in my case they actively encouraged testing only to limit it to 1x every couple of days at the same time of day which is next to useless, test 4 times a day to begin with to monitor the shape of your Glucose levels, it will never be constant, it depends on what you are eating. Seriously if you are worried about charting then ask your GP to recommend a councellor. In my case it really helps especially if you change your diet, in my case radically. I have found significant changes in a couple of weeks. You really must not feel like you are burdening your GP, you have the health problems and there job is to help. If you are not happy with them move to another GP and ask what there position is in relation to treating Diabetics. I have got my Blood Glucose levels down to 5.2 from an average of 14- 16 mmol within 2 weeks. A bonus, I have lost 10.9 kgs too :) My long term hope is to take the positive I now feel and convert my lifestyle to match and give myself a chance of growing old, or certainly at least a lot older than I am now!
