[QUOTE="mariehalfpint..., post: 864784, member: 181442"] Hi,I was diagnosed with type 2 last year,at first I was told to do a daily reading,which I did,then when I went for a blood test the nurse I saw was quite rude to me and told me I have no authority to do any readings and I was wasting her NHS money and was never to do it again,which both upset me and annoyed both myself and my husband who was with me at the time this happened,luckily we moved and have a new doctor now whole is very nice,I explained things to him and he said that if I wanted to check my readings then that was up to me and agreed that yes it does help by giving warnings of any trouble or problems that could come about and that it was helpful to any doctor if the readings are shown to them,as yet I've not taken him up on his very kind offer,I will be asking next time I see him though,the way you were treated by this doctor is out of order,I would see my own Dr if I was you show him your readings and tell him how you wete treated,as that was diabolical and should not be aloud,yes they have a stressful job and and any Dr should be grateful for every little bit of help and doing readings is important to you and should be to him,I'm really sorry you were treated like that...
