[QUOTE="AnnInDenmark, post: 1453429, member: 102501"] At my last meeting with the nurse, as she was ticking off her list of questions, one of them was: "You test as home, don't you?" Me: "Yes, but not as much as I once did, now that I have good control". (It is self-funded) Nurse: "Good, good". Check mark on computer. Me: "Do many of your T2 patients self test?" Nurse with a happy smile: "Yes, almost all of them. Once a month or so, that is enough". I believe I blinked a lot, trying to keep a straight face. I was afraid that I would have had to pick her up from the floor, had I told her that I test 3-4 times a day, down from 10. I never heard a "well done" either, only a baffled "I have never seen that before". GP told me a couple of times that a HbA1c of 48 is a very good level, so I expect that most of the once-a-month testers are higher than that. I am the only one in the practice of 5 GPs who got down to none-diabetic levels, so I was once told. I suspect that that is the reason why my GP now doubt my diagnosis. [/QUOTE]
