By we I mean the medical fraternity

You make my argument better than me by pointing out that on non flying days you only test 2 or 3 times. This is presumably what your diabetologist considers necessary.....I suspect your blood sugars vary more not less on non flying days

I am afraid I do not consider very frequent testing is better safe or indeed better. As doctors, nurses and radiographers we are told from day one that everything we do, especially an invasive procedure, must be necessary. If we do it to gather data for the common good but not the individual it is research and requires specific consent. In most countries you cannot be penalised for refusing to participate.
