I can see the many who cannot afford or get no test strips on prescription being annoyed by these (to me) pointless experiments. Maybe if they had got a chemistry set for Christmas they wouldn’t be messing around. Maybe it could be turned into a game, with a prize for who can get the highest BG number within an hour.

How anyone controls their diabetes is up to them. For me I have found a much reduced carbohydrate intake has made tremendous difference. I am fortunate that my GP has allowed limited access to test strips which in the early days helped tremendously. I do seriously question the current thinking behind certain members on ETYM. I quote from another comment "ETYM have shown themselves up. They can afford to do all the testing, even when it is not needed, with their Lucozade and unlimited strips.. They campaign for test strips for everyone and yet they prove that they don't really care. Yes Eddie, they are nutters. They are as bad as the Govt, saying that we are all in this together. People who can afford test strips are not in the same position as people who cannot. How can people eat to their meter if they cannot afford it?"<br /><br />Why are they wasting valuable resources and money when they clearly are diabetics, it does not make good sense and is this really the way forward to show others who could be struggling to get good control and not have access to test strips, good food etc. <br /><br />Come on ETYM wise up and get real.<br /><br />Sal ( a faintly disgusted low carber)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-84610285489218347252013-01-11T11:08:28.371+00:002013-01-11T11:08:28.371+00:00ETYM have shown themselves up.
