[QUOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 1121797, member: 44622"] Oddly enough I have a meter from the NHS and I am a T2. There was a time when I fell off the wagon just to see what would happen. I have experimented on myself a great deal and not always for the good. My Hba1c reached 68 and DN panicked and put me on Glimepiride. This requires a meter to check for hypo's. I set to work testing with my prescribed strips and was told I was using too many of them. Yes, I had been given a meter and was asked not to use it??? I got back on the wagon and my next Hba1c was 42 and the strips were stopped. I now self fund strips and I still use the meter supplied. [/QUOTE]
