[QUOTE="IanD, post: 197786, member: 6186"] Our Dr's practice has no problem with test strip prescription - but then we've been at the practice longer than any of the Drs. The trouble is the Drs only take notice of their own measurements, i.e. HbA1c, & as they "know" the diabetes is progressive, their interest is in what to prescribe as you get worse, both for the diabetes & the complications. Sadly the progression is true IF you follow the DUK diet of starchy carbs with every meal. I proved that after 7-8 years on their diet, & complications set in. Then I found this forum & cut the carbs & reversed the complications. Try to become well-informed, both the diabetes & with your own condition & response to foods. Try to get on a diabetes education course. [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=13109&hilit=+expert]You can work through the XPERT course on this thread.[/url] The absolute minimum for testing is daily, overnight, & good control should be below 6. You will be able to see any trend. Tests at other times - 1 & 2 hours after meals & at bedtime, before driving, etc, would be helpful so you know your condition better. [/QUOTE]
