hi
I have been for my first diabetic nurse checkup , I was diagnosed last week , and have done readings with a spare blood monitor of my husband as he is diabetic ,,,,,
to day shocked me a bit with the nurse , I was told that they don't give out blood monitors now and we don't need to test our blood as in 3 months time we will have a hbac1 , as that is the real reading of your levels , as the blood metre is just a guide ,
:idea:
well I just wasted my time all week doing my blood 2 hours after . I was also given a magazine which she said I can eat anything as long as it is small portion ,
has the nsh changed some laws or something?
