[QUOTE="Becky72, post: 931852, member: 202961"] Hello everyone I was diagnosed type 2 a week ago and my gp recommended joining this community. I have learnt so much already, thank you all. My Dad had T2 and regularly tested so I was surprised when my doctor said I will be advised to test on the education course but there is no need to. Incidentally he is the same gp my Dad used and is the diabetic specialist in the practice. My bg was 19 when the nurse did a finger prick test (did not fast) and then my hba1c was 80. From what I have read on this forum most of you very much believe in testing. I have decided I want to test - do you all test at set times or before/after eating? I still find this confusing. The doctor made no mention of the impact of eating carbs, he said just a balance diet, reduce my portions and no added sugar. I also am struggling for ideas for snacking and would be grateful for any suggestions. Thank you :) [/QUOTE]
