[QUOTE="WhitbyJet, post: 285071, member: 35964"] I have been in the 4% club for quite some time, my consultant is used to me now so is my GP, I still get prescribed test strips even though I dont take any meds, my GP says its all important to keep to these levels. In January I was seen by another consultant as my usual one came down with the flu, this stand in was a nightmare, he talked su much rubbish I ended up laughing out loud, in the end I told him that he ought to think outside his box, he is a danger to diabetics. I am not normally rude, but he said to me, "your bs levels are running too low", I asked what he means, he said " we expect diabetcs to have higher levels, you must eat some carbs, I'd say a minimum of 4 slices of bread, thats not much, it bring your levels up suitable for a diabetic"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I told him that 4 slices of bread would have me in double figures, his response "we have lots of very effective medication that would deal with that problem" oh boy hard to believe :crazy: [/QUOTE]
