| Different result for me from my dietician... I met with my dietician yesterday for the second time since starting insulin. She encouraged me to continue to test often. For all the same reasons the posters on this thread have stated. She was thrilled that I was being pro-active with my disease and spending the time to learn from my fellow diabetics here in this forum.
