[QUOTE="Synonym, post: 117201, member: 22966"] Take John’s advice – it really does work and, once you are organised, changing your diet in this way is easy to do and it is well worth making the effort to keep any ill effects of diabetes at bay as long as possible. You need to be proactive and testing is the key so that you know what your food is doing to your BG levels. It is worth asking for the meter and testing strips so talk to your DN before buying anything as I found that they sometimes have meters available. Also, if you can get a prescription for testing strips, I was told that they may only be available for certain meters and apparently this can differ from area to area. It is worth trying anyway. There does seem to be resistance to T2s testing but if you want to manage your condition it really is essential so you need to emphasise to your DN that this is the reason why you want to do it and need the equipment.
