[QUOTE="natureman_, post: 891688, member: 190689"] I'm from Canada so our medicine is probably a little different than in the UK. I'm a type 1 using insulin as well as metformin and I test up to 18+ times a day. "Helps to have good private health insurance along with our healthcare". My endocrinologist has "never" told me "not" to test. She felt it was important to stay on top of my BG's at all times. The other part of the reason she has me has me on metformin is to help with stabilizing my sugars as I had necrotizing pancreatitis and they ended up removing my pancreas and spleen so she says for me balancing my sugars is flying in the middle of a storm.
