[QUOTE="Alzebra, post: 932627, member: 162035"] Hi Silky, welcome to the forum. I tested up to 10 times a day to begin with, until I worked out which foods I could eat without causing huge rises in BG. [URL]http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/14045524.php[/URL] this link basically explained the process, although I often test before a meal to see what the rise is, not just the overall level. My DSN refused to give me a meter and still maintains that I don't need to test at all. She's wrong, it's only by testing that I have lowered my BG to non-diabetic levels. I bought my own meter and test strips, so if you can't get enough test strips on prescription come back and ask about the SD Codefree meter (the cheapest out there!). Good luck x [/QUOTE]
