[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1033087, member: 196898"] What is being described here is a major reason why there is resistance to T2D self monitoring. NOT because of the deception giving wrong results, but because the act of testing becomes overimportant in itself, and causes some to become quite anal over the absolute numbers, instead of correctly using the results as a guide. It becomes a race,and everytime a reading come in above the target set by the GP or DCN or DCUK it becomes a 'disaster' rhat needs to be suppressed from view by cooking the books. BTW I think this is taking the thread away from the OP so I will say no more. I hope that all diabetics get the support they need to help them reduce (possibly eliminate) the consequences of travelling down De Nile. PS I too get the temptation to cook the books, but so far I have managed to resist it. [/QUOTE]
