[QUOTE="Arab Horse, post: 857651, member: 136328"] And how will you know if it has if you don't teat; bonkers. I was diagnosed with a blood glucose of 18.6 at a routine free NHS health check. I didn't feel ill, had no symptoms so no reason to be tested but was told that my levels were of BS and HbA1c were at the levels where I was in danger of a stroke or heart attack. I can only tell if my glucose is high by testing, it doesn't make me feel unwell, thirsty or any of the other symptoms we are supposed to get. You would think that it would be cheaper to give people test strips than treat the consequences of long long term poor diabetes control. Worth a letter to the health minister while they are looking to restructure the NHS! [/QUOTE]
