The article says : " ... When you do surveys of people who are testing, in fact (they) have increased levels of depression, worry and anxiety compared to those who don't test."

You can't be depressed and worried when you're dead.

Of course as a T2 and on oral meds I don't have to test 8-10 times a day. But I do test! And not once a week either. The less I test it seems the less control I have. You can't play the ostrich game with diabetes.
