I mentioned earlier that I don't want diabetes to take over my life and I think that regular self testing seems to set me down that path.
Its a bit like taking your blood pressure regularly, or wearing a heart/pulse monitor and hypochondria inducing things like that.
Perhaps I am not taking it seriously enough, but I don't feel ill, nor have I felt ill.
This was discovered in a routine Old Blokes medical examination.
I see the diabetes nurse mid September, after a blood test check.
Hopefully, I might have improved my numbers with my actions todate, or at least got no worse.
If I haven't sorted out the good/bad stuff by then (I believe I have covered the obvious good/bad) then that could be the time to ask for an appointment with a Dietician.
I still haven't heard about the eye exam she promised me "within 7-10 days", so I paid £10 and my Optician did it and said all was well.
This is the first time I have had an illness with a DIY remedy.
