<blockquote data-quote="Moggely" data-source="post: 1871542"><p>[USER=468714]@kitedoc[/USER] . I totally agree with you that T1 must test because they are on insulin and also for diabetics in general as to know what food effects their levels and so on, but the point i was trying to make and this is just in my own circumstances and not speaking for everyone, was that it really was becoming a real obsession with me and a bad number would ruin the whole day for me, even if i woke up healthy and happy, that bad reading ruined my day. In my own case i was thinking of stopping it for a week or so or maybe even take it a couple of days, but not to the point were i seem to be doing it constantly. Speaking of blood pressure i have white coat hypertension so have to take it at home and i was doing the same with that as i'm now doing the finger pricking. The blood pressure was years ago now so i don't take it all the time but maybe once a week or sometimes even monthly. I understand that diabetes is a forever condition and i will always have to be careful. Things that are out of my control, such as illness or stress or pain and certain medications, well those things i can do little about except to whether it out so to speak. Thanks for your input on it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
