[QUOTE="AnnH 2, post: 1777930, member: 472930"] As an update I saw diabetic nurse for a review and she said I did not need to be testing my glucose levels as I was type 2 and they would do ny Hbac every 3 months. I argued that as diet and tracking blood glucose levels was the only way I could get control over my glucose and that all the evidence I have read has said I should be testing regularly. She said that was 'old fashioned' thinking and it was all about weight loss and exercise and I should concentrate on that. I am feeling really confused and depressed about it all, I am a full time wheelchair user who has limited use of left arm and no use of left leg there will be no paralympics for me I use electric chair outside the house and I scoot round the house with one arm and one leg in a manual chair so exercise needs some imagination. I think I need to research more..... [/QUOTE]
