[QUOTE="Scandichic, post: 653467, member: 94210"] You should lose loads. I kept a food diary and didn't drink for the first couple of months but now have 2-3 glasses of white wine a week. The other thing is test, test, test! Your doc probably won't give you a meter as you're on meds and "don't need" a meter. Total horse****! I started having hypos as I was on too much Metformin which supposedly can't happen. Tablets reduced from 3 to 1. The meter (test after food - I test 1 hour then 2 hours after food in the beginning) is your friend and let's you know what you can and can't eat. The meter I use is the SD code free as the strips are £5 a pot if you buy 5 pots vs 1 pot from the chemist for £25. You can order directly from [url]http://www.homehealth-uk.com[/url] Meter starter kit is £12 approx and vat free if you're diabetic. Promo code for strips is 264086 You're not supposed to use the lancet more than once but I like living on the wild side so I do. I now test to keep an eye, if I want to introduce something new, if I feel unwell or funny. Hope this helps! And have another hug! [/QUOTE]
