Will it make a difference if I take 15 minutes to eat a slice of white toast?

[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1670258, member: 94045"] [USER=448756]@Red_river_[/USER] I have to say that it is you that has diabetes, not your hubbie. It is you that will suffer the consequences of uncontrolled diabetes, and possible progression to insulin - that will definitely require needles. If you buy yourself an Accu Chek Fastclix lancet pen you will never see a needle. They are enclosed within a plastic drum. The drum is inserted inside the device. No contact, no handling, can't see it. Your DN is wrong. Simples. You already know her views on testing. If I were you I would not be discussing it further with her. The main reason for GPs and DNs advising against testing is because if they recommended it they would have to prescribe meters and strips - which cost prevents them from doing.
