[QUOTE="muzza3, post: 1056615, member: 258123"] Wow! I have only joined this site recently from Australia. In that short time I have picked up on this reluctance of your NHS to encourage meter usage among Type 2 and some of the advice from some of the diabetic nurses seems unbelievable. In this last week I have seen a new poster who had been advised no need to measure we will do that each YEAR. Following advice from a member he acquired a meter and the first reading was over 24!!! If I have learnt anything from my type 2 journey is that there is only really one person interested in my Diabetes day in and day out and that is me. Surely they must realise the real cost to the health system from escalations as people following this advice are damaging their bodies unknown to themselves and and return to the system with complications that may have been avoided [/QUOTE]
