[QUOTE="sanguine, post: 635743, member: 101256"] Hi Jon, welcome. First thing, don't panic, and as has been said you've come to a good place to get you started in managing the condition. Second thing, it's not your fault. T2 is caused by one or more metabolic flaws - there are plenty of obese people who will never get diabetes and plenty of thin ones who do. Many of us use the SD Codefree meter (Amazon, Ebay etc) because the strips are about the most cost-effective. If you need to lose weight, LCHF worked for me ([url="http://www.dietdoctor.com/lchf"]www.dietdoctor.com/lchf[/url]) but read around and see what is most appropriate for you. But the main thing is carb reduction, and a meter to assess how your blood sugars spike to different foods. Good luck and ask any questions! [/QUOTE]
