Good morning all, no morning reading from me as I have been told to cut right back on testing as my control is so good. Review was interesting, had an argument with the one nurse who told me I should not be getting strips as a type 2, I can eat what I like and the metformin will sort it out and it will have no effect except in the long term. According to her DUK are on the side of testing for type 2's because they earn money from the sale of meters. I ended up insisting on seeing my GP and explaining what she had said to him, his answer was I am the diabetes man and I have the final say here and if I think self testing will be helpful you will get strips. He said it is all down to cost cutting by the powers that be and he agreed it is the most short sighted way of looking at it.
Anyway he was impressed with my progress and is re referring me for my foot op asap
Have a wonderful day all, I'm off to do my breakfast
