[QUOTE="catherinecherub, post: 51982"] Whilst I agree that it is difficult to educate a lot of people about their diabetes it is equally true that a lot of people aren't getting the basics. You only have to read the boards here to see that dietary advice is severley lacking for the newly diagnosed. Acceptable readings differ between one G.P. practice to another and the interpretation of N.I.C.E. guidlines also varies. To withhold test strips from a newly diagnosed is what I consider to be a severe lack of understanding by that person's healthcare team. It is the most basic thing that a diabetic needs in the early stages. We could all tell stories about what had been said about and by uneducated diabetics but that doesn't detract from the fact that not all diabetics are being cared for properly. [/QUOTE]
