I'm beginning to realise that my young and new DN isn't going to be supportive ...she said it's her job to manage my diabetes and was angry when I said 'No, you monitor my diabetes twice a year but I manage it on a daily basis ...ergo I test ..' I'll have to go and see my GP I think ...
Can I quote your results please Christine?
Thank you Stallen for your advice ...

@Maryannonsilk
I feel your pain. Unless she is a diabetic herself, she is at best a 3rd party obsever and a theoratician, and like you say her "care" is a 9 to 5 job as opposed to the patient's 24/7 slog.
