[QUOTE="pleinster, post: 1614323, member: 221545"] It could be argued that you get a false reading if you are on meds, whereas without them your meter reading (while still less than 100% accurate) without meds is more informative of the actual blood sugar situation. I stopped my taking Gliclazide in order to see what impact my diet was having on my levels without having to very loosely factor in the medication. As a result, I stuck to a low carb diet and never went back on the Gliclazide. That was about 2 years ago now...still doing ok. Personally, I think the main reason for the nonsense about meters being less than useful to us is twofold - 1] budget 2] ignorance/refusal to accept possibility of being wrong. [/QUOTE]
