[QUOTE="KAYBRADLEY, post: 114392, member: 24229"] [color=#800040][b]My husband is Type 2 Diabetic with a head injury.[/b][/color] He cannot manage his diabetes on his own and can't understand the need for a strict diet. It is only by self testing that I can convince him of the neccesity of eating the correct diet. I am sure he isn't the only one in this situation. Of course self testing in itself does nothing to reduce the levels of sugar in the blood but it certainly concentrates the mind to improve matters when things get out of hand. It can also be a pointer to an underlying condition which needs treatment in itself. An alternative would be to ask the District Nurses to come several times a week to test my husband's blood sugare. [b][color=#800040]Cost of the District Nurse v the cost of test strips [/color][/b]- no competition I think. What a waste of money commissioning these reports, why not save the money and ask the people who are living with diabetes in the real world? [/QUOTE]
