| I saw my nurse yesterday (she's not a diabetic nurse, just based at my doctor's surgery)....but she said the exact same thing...that I shouldn't bother testing all the time. She said one of her patients did that, testing before and after meals, and she thought it was much too much.
The nurse said I'd probably be okay if I just tested once a week...but how on earth am I ever to know if I'm eating the right or the wrong things, especially as my doctor doesn't want to put me on meds yet, but to control things by diet alone.
Although my bsl has gone down from when I was diagnosed a week ago, I still don't know if what I'm eating is the right thing or not........and I haven't been told to self test yet either.
I'm glad I saw this.....it certainly seems logical to test after meals, especially if you're trying some new food. I hate needles and pain of any sort (LOL), but I know that I'll be testing regularly, at least to begin with. |
