Hi guys I am a new T2 diabetic, currently on insulin but the doctors are going to see how I do with tablets, I am basically their guinea rat it would seem, anyways they tell me if I go onto the tablets I wont need to do the BG tests anymore, personally I don't like the idea of not monitoring my levels and I have already spoken to someone on the forums who agrees I should keep monitoring. The hospital gave me a AgaMatrix Jazz meter, but I am aware if they do put me on the tablets I will probably not get the strips and lances on the NHS anymore, So here's my question, what do I do next? Is there a better meter for me? I was thinking about buying an Accu-chek mobile thingy, but I am really not sure about what I should be buying and what the long term affects on my wallet will be. I have no doubt that many of you are experts in this area so could you guys please advise me? Thank you in advance for your time.
