[QUOTE="RussG, post: 233862, member: 30691"] Hi Tony Everyone with diabetes should have an annual review, but that doesn't necessarily mean that is the only time you will get your blood tested. Many medical teams will suggest moving to an annual test once you've proved that you are well controlled. Personally I think this is not often enough and at least twice yearly for an HbA1c would be my preference. If you're paying for your own test strips then I'd suggest it's none of the nurse's business how often you test. As for blood pressure, well that really depends on your personal circumstances, what your BP is, what risk factors you have etc. [/QUOTE]
