[QUOTE="AlexMagd, post: 1535890, member: 429623"] Thanks all, especially for the helpful links! @[URL='http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/members/am1874.379847/']AM1874[/URL] Unfortunately I wasn't prescribed a meter as my GP thinks that I will obsess about it which is unnecessary because my numbers are presently quite manageable. You can imagine what my response to that was! Hard to see how you can manage anything without the necessary information! Without one I won't know if what I'm doing is beneficial until my next A1C... Thanks for your meter recommendations; I'll take a look. It baffles me that the NHS isn't willing to shell out for meters/strips on prescription - surely they're cheaper than having everyone on metformin and insulin due to mismanagement? Right now I'm basically doing liberal low carb just out of virtue of being worried about what bread, pasta, rice etc are doing to my BS (probably about 100g a day). I'm sure the program and all your advice will be really useful for me going forward though :) [/QUOTE]
