[QUOTE="busygardener, post: 2063542, member: 388324"] Hi all. A while since I posted but have been getting over my cancer treatment. Everything fine now and feeling very well. BG back under control. On a slightly different tack - I went to collect a prescription today and was asked to speak to the pharmacist to have my annual medication review. During the course of the discussion he asked me how many times a day I was testing so I said it was several times a day. He looked astonished and said as a T2 I only needed to test once a day or even once a week! It was my turn to look astonished and I explained how it helped my glucose control and meant I knew how various foods/activities affected me and meant I would not be needing loads of medication in the future or have long term complications. Not sure I convinced him but it seems that it's not only doctors and nurses spreading false information and failing to keep up with research and results of low carb eating. [/QUOTE]
