[QUOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 589496, member: 44622"] For some time I have had the attitude that if you (NHS) don't want me to worry or get obsessed and you won't supply test strips or meters then why the H*** did you tell me about it in the first place. In 2001 the doctor had me walking miles and losing weight but didn't clearly explain the implications. Once I escaped from the surgery I relapsed into my old ways and put on weight etc. etc. For two years after my diagnosis in 2009 nothing of great moment happened except that I ate a lot of pills and some of them didn't treat me kindly. It wasn't until I was given a meter that things started looking up. Instant feedback on my sugar levels and the ability to do something about it at last. I experimented on myself for six months before I found this forum and joined because people on it made sense. Looking back from where I am now I am glad I know. Knowing meant nothing for years until I got the meter. I think everyone should own a meter and give themselves a periodic health check. If there is nothing wrong then do as the NHS suggest and don't worry or get obsessed. I do think that most of the pill taking was a waste of time. I am currently unmedicated. [/QUOTE]
