[QUOTE="mayoburt, post: 1615402, member: 435946"] I finally got my urgent appointment with a diabetic specialist yesterday. In the summer I was having high 20’s readings and told I mat have to go on insulin. Well im sorry but I am not. Downloaded this App and learned so much about diabetes. Put myself on a low carb diet 3 months ago have lost 1 stone and feel great. My downfall was not testing so started testing pre and after meals to see what spiked my sugars. Back to the specialist had no idea what had been going on had to explain everything he didn’t even know what meds I was on. For past 2 months been in single figures due to testing. But docs refuse to give me more than 1 pot of strips a month which is neither here or there he says I only need to test once a day I ask you. He said looks like you have done everything yourself! What was the point in going for this appointment. I had a blood test so lets see if after 2 months my hb levels are down from 101 he wants it at 60 or under else another tablet it is but no more test strips grrrrrr [/QUOTE]
