[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 377563, member: 6467"] There are many meters, and they are for sale in Boots and Lloyds amongst many pharmacies. If you have a PC at home it is worth while getting a tester which has a USB (or possibly bluetooth) connection so that you can save the results to the PC and look at them as a series. Easier (for me) than writing them all out longhand. It is thought that there is a genetic tendency to diabetes. If his father was T1 then there is probably an increased risk. I am a little concerned that at his age he is showing signs of complications which are usually the result of some years of poor control. Cutting out sugar and sweets is unfortunately not the comprehensive diet review required - but at least it is a start :) I think it is important that he starts testing as soon as possible so that you can both see what his current levels are, and then you will have a clearer idea of how his body is coping. Post the results here and we will help you interpret. CHeers LGC [/QUOTE]
