[QUOTE="Sandybw, post: 990037, member: 216532"] Only recently diagnosed, I am still learning but would agree that long periods without eating is probably not good. Currently diet controlled, I asked about testing because it seems a sensible thing to do if I am to learn what is right for me. However, I was told my Health Authority would not allow it! I agree with previous comment that it is a cost-based decision rather than looking out for the needs of the patient. I would add that since being diagnosed, I have not been seen by my doctor but my diabetic nurse is lovely. Really appreciating the forums. [/QUOTE]
