[QUOTE="GemP, post: 2756433, member: 597339"] Hiya I have tried a few different things, so right at the start I was already following a slimming program with my mum this was prior to the diagnosis so I stuck with that and the weight wouldn't shift and I was gaining weight, nurse told me to keep trying and to up my exercise so I did no results, so I switched to trying to eat healthy as low carbs as I could but I have really struggled with that method I'm just going round in circles, I wasn't told I needed to test and right before Christmas the nurse basically fell off her seat when I told her this and she said why was I told that why didn't I just do it, well I didn't do it because I didn't no what was good or bad and I was told not to!! I'm now self funding dexcom and this is my 4th sensor and it's told me loads to be honest, they should prescribe it to everyone with diabetes [/QUOTE]
