[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 2065607, member: 219467"] Hmm in your shoes I'd go back to the docs and get checked out.. see if you can get a c-peptide test to see how much insulin you are producing..Are you trying to lose weight deliberately or has it just "happened" ? I see from the post title that its unintended which could well be a symptom of something other.. Also try and get a meter even if you only use it until the pot of strips run out so you can see what your blood sugars are doing. your nurse is I'm afraid just towing the NHS line about testing as they can't afford meters and strips for all. If they won't give one to you I'd suggest getting your own.. it can be a very powerful tool. [/QUOTE]
