Hi Melgar, Your lengthy reply is very much appreciated. I am sorry you have experienced such issues, and hope you are now well. None of the problems you mention apply to my husband but we just seem not to be able to stabilise, one way or the other. Do take care of yourself and kindest...

Hi Anje77, Thank you so much for responding. Nothing has changed really, and no change to medication. He is well now, although was very ill from Easter last year with biliary sepsis and lost a considerable amount of weight, but back on track again. With renewed thanks and best wishes, Anne

Hi Again, Thank you so much for such a comprehensive response. I guess it is what we thought, if it is too good to be true, it usually is. Ray has Type 2 Diabetes diagnosed about 8 years and up until now it has been well controlled with diet and with medication. But strangely, it has gone...

Hi, thank you so much for responding to my question. This is very interesting, as it would appear there are such products available. But thank you so much once again.

Hi there, and thank you so much for responding. He normally checks weekly, but recent review has suggested he tests 3 times daily for the next three weeks as they have changed his medication. He uses a new lancet each time. Thank you again.

Hi All and good evening, Asking on behalf of my husband who has Type 2 controlled with tablets. He is considering buying a blood glucose monitoring watch as his fingers are becoming increasingly sore using lancets. Have any of you lovely people experience of these watches, please.
