[QUOTE="jenrose, post: 852138, member: 11454"] As for the advice rolled out that you should not test as 'testing causes anxiety' I would find not being able to test would cause me anxiety, especially as I know blood sugars go up when you are ill, as I found out when I had and infection and took antibiotics for it. My aunt died nearly two years ago, she had sickness and diarrhea and ended up in hospital with organ failure. I know she had type 2 diabetes but I don't know if she had a meter or had her blood sugars tested before she went to hospital. I know her son had a meter as is on insulin but did not like to ask.
