[QUOTE="1abRat, post: 1265892, member: 297123"] Your diabetes nurse sounds like an idiot. Sorry, not going to mince my works because it's not her life on the line is it? Unless you're using CGM you should be testing at least - Before every rapid insulin injection - If you feel hypo - If you feel high - Before and every 2 hours when driving - Before, possibly during and after exercise - More frequently if you're ill or in unusual circumstances such as travelling, high stress, hot weather Before I got my Libre I tested 8-10 times a day. Once I got my Libre I was shocked at how much information I was missing just testing 8-10 times a day. Testing twice a day is useless. You'll have no data to make any informed decisions about your care. [/QUOTE]
