Hi everyone I've been T2 for one and a half months now I'm taking 1500mg of metformin a day and trying to stick to a low carb diet I've also been very ill for the last 3 weeks with perforated diverticulitis, that's the back story, when first diagnosed my fasting blood test returned at 99 which I believe is about 15% I I'm not sure about the mmol/ml thing and how it works, but my main question is I asked my GP for a BG monitor so I could self test and discover what foods effect me and just basically give myself peace of mind that what I'm doing is helping!!! But GP told me that I don't need to test you'll be ok ??? Is this often the case or am I being fobbed off all any any advice is grateful !!!
