[QUOTE="Pinkorchid, post: 1544065, member: 166283"] Your nurse can't tell you not to test if you are willing to pay for the testing strips yourself it is your decision no one else's and if you do it just don't tell her. At the moment you do not know if you have any nerve damage only a doctor can tell you that and it may not be so.. Diabetes is finding out what works for you not what works for others because we are all so different. The general opinion here.. it is not the NHS guidelines though.. is to cut down or cut out the starchy carbs like pasta rice bread potatoes and of course all sugar and that will help to lower blood sugar levels and aids weight loss if that is needed .
