[QUOTE="xfieldok, post: 2202335, member: 460785"] Look up the the price of the test strips, these are your running costs. The surgery may limit the number you can have and it may be cheaper to buy your own meter with cheaper strips. T2s are not normally given meters as per NICE guidelines. If you follow LCHF I would normally recommend 200 strips per month. Their main use at first is to see what your readings are before you eat and two hours after the first bite. If there is a rise of more than 2 then there were too many carbs or the portion was too large. This way we can identify what foods suit us, and which foods we are intolerant to. We eliminate the foods we can't eat. There are incredible recipes out thete, you are not going to starve, but to get the diabetes under control you will have to embrace change. [/QUOTE]
