And do you ever check your blood sugar yourself?
I do. Every couple of days I check my sugar level and make sure that's right. As I got all the instruments and everything provided by my GP. And I check at home and everything's fine and it's all controlled now.
But you mentioned before that they're going to change the treatment?
They're just going to add another tablet, you know, that's what they're saying. And most probably I'll, they said to me, I have to go tomorrow to see my GP, and they are going to decide, you know, what sort of tablets they're going to add it on, just to make sure. Because the thing, what they want, they want my sugar level to be below 7. Which is, at the moment sometimes it's 7 and sometimes can go a bit higher, which, they're not happy with that. So that's what they going, they're trying to do, just to make sure it's below 7. Yes, there is, sometimes there is below 7. But they want it all the time to be controlled. And so that's why they're going to put me on the medicine.
And do you, do you note it down when you take your blood sugar reading?
I do. Well, when you're, it all started when I found around being diabetic. About the first six months I used to check my blood sugar every day and I used to write it down and everything. So just to make sure when I go back to see my GP to show them the results and how everything, how everything is working out. So they can see how was my blood sugar and how they can decide, you know, how, what sort of medicines I'm going to have it, that sort of things.
And now it's not every day?
No, it's not every day. Every two or three days, something like that, you know. When I, if I feel can, I should check it, I'll check it, you know. Because I know myself, you know, if it's going to be right or not, because from your own body you know whether it's going to be right or not. If you feel it's going to be a bit high, then most probably I'll check it, you know, or if it's going to be a bit low. But when it's right, you know, you feel in yourself everything is fine, you don't bother with that. |
