Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="graj0" data-source="post: 848614">Supposedly there was some research done that showed taking BG didn't help diabetics in fact was more likely to cause them worry. They must have gone out of their way to pick those people who were, shall we say politely, a bit on the panicky side when they did that piece of research.They'll be telling us that we shouldn't check our BP either. I think they quote the research because it justifies them not supplying test strips any more, so all very political. May I respectfully suggest you ignore this particular KNOB, I remember mine went up to 23 and the emergency doctor I saw wasn't worried in the slightest. I have no idea what was happening but like you, at least I knew what my BG and therefore had a rough idea of why I felt rough.This whole thing about monitoring is a classic case of the medical profession not singing from the same song book because in the last 3 years I've had 2 three day stays and one four day stay in hospital and each time they have made sure I took my own BG, even using my own meter if I wanted to.</blockquote>
