[QUOTE="Neohdiver, post: 1104995, member: 258692"] I am in the US - but I have very good insurance for two things: allergies and diabetes care. All allergy care is free; all diabetes testing supplies are free. (I gave you the US price for the lancet, since my understanding from this forum is that in the UK many people with T2 diabetes are told there is no need to test at all - so I expected that you might be totally on your own.) As to what we are told - I'm not paying much attention to what I was told (which was to test 2 hours after eating occasionally and make sure it is (back) below 10). I never want to see a 10 (I've only seen it once since diagnosis). I don't want to go above 7.8 - which is about the top of the non-diabetic range. Fortunately, my doctor is happy to see I'm more proactive than most of his patients, and happy with my results, so he is letting me call the shots on testing. [/QUOTE]
