I was diagnosed in 2008 as type 2 and I have severe neuropathy in my feet and legs which lately on some days I am finding harder to cope with and the pain meds I am on don't touch it much. My question is though, my diabetic nurse has always said that there is no need to test my bs ever because the HBA1C test is enough and my last reading was 6.3. I have a meter but I have developed a fear of testing, pathetic I know but wth the dn stating it's not necessary I didn't worry. However, now I am thinking that maybe I should test and I just wondered if anyone else is in the same boat or if you think I should start checking my sugars from now on? Many thanks in advance for any replies.
