Hi tezza.
First the good news.......well done with the weight loss.
As for the rest of the tale from your 'lovely' diabetic Nurse......she told you 'porkies' ! The reason they don't want to give you a meter and test strips is solely down to COST.
Nothing to do with how you might over test and hurt your little fingers..... :lol: I test at the moment at least 7 - times daily. I use the same three fingeres on each hand. I have used them for around 12 years at varying degrees of frequency. Are my fingers hurting, are they sore, are they damaged....NO !
What a load of drivel. All from a so called caring professional. At least you would think she could have the 'guts' to tell you the real reason. Pathetic.
I think you can tell I am not impressed...... :twisted:
