Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="goji" data-source="post: 114354" data-attributes="member: 11291">Totally agree! I was told by a nurse the other week not to measure my blood pressure at home as 'home testing can cause patients to get worried"!!! :twisted: I can't stand that NHS mentality that thinks the HCP 'knows best' and the silly patient shouldn't worry their little head about things. It's only through testing that we can chart patterns, identify problems and get accurate treatments!On the one hand HCPs like to label diabetics who aren't in control as non-compliant but when HCPs are faced with diabetics who are motivated to self-monitor and take responsibility, they tell us not to worry ourselves. You can't win! :evil:</blockquote>
