[QUOTE="NorthCountryMaid, post: 187213, member: 30571"] I still think that "not at all" seems relevant to those who don't test - the "less than once a day" seems close to "a few times a week." Now it's possible that those who are diabetes-savvy know that people don't do it that way, but I'm new to this game (though not to questionnaires!) and wanted a "not at all" option. I have a similar problem with all questionnaires which ask about alcohol consumption. I tick the box which yields the "within safe limits" answer. I can't say I never drink alcohol, because that looks as though the stuff never passes my lips, which isn't true. OTOH, I don't drink 3 times a week. I have the equivalent of one unit a fortnight - in sips from someone else's glass, and the occasional half-glass, unless someone's got a really really good Burgundy, when my alcohol intolerance seems to disappear. :D Agree that it would be difficult - though what I had in mind was the sort of system described by Sid Bonkers above. I didn't ask my GP for test strips - I asked her if it was a good idea to test. Have you been refused if you've never asked for something? There's many a drama used that one! Perhaps you could add in a question - has your doctor suggested bg monitoring? Again, this is something which may seem almost axiomatic to those familiar with diabetes, and especially with those for whom diabetes control is a major feature of their lives (who are likely to make up a major proportion of those who come on the forum - I grant!) Oh, and as to whether I would beta-test surveys? As you might expect (by now), the answer is "sort-of". By all means ask, but there are times when I'm too tired/busy/ill (see MS in OP). So I'll plump for "Aye" on this one! [/QUOTE]
