hi everyone :wink:
i had to have some blood taken today, so have just come back from seeing my db nurse. i am not happy- she basically told me that i am young to have type 2 (age33) & that in 20 yrs time i will have complications, yet they still refuse to give me strips on perscription. i have been self testing since monday & the numbers are still high. she said i can eat potatoes, bannanas, & bread but this i find makes bg high. after saying high levels like mine can do damage to yor eyes & organs ect she asked me "am i depressed?" i cant understand why my grandad (type2) whos in his 90"s gets strips on nhs & a younger person like myself who has yrs left living with this condition is refused. i know you have prob all heard this before .
