Because I'm on diet management I've been told I can't get them on prescription

As I'm a T2 on diet management should I get my test strips etc on the NHS or where is the best place to get them, any recommendations on the best meter

Thanks for the reply, no the early start is for work, set off at 06:10, i felt better on the high than the low though :-), will try the different breakfast and see how I am I think

Also I'm 39years old

I had a hypo yesterday and dropped to 2.5, after I was given a full bottle of lucazade by the nurse and sandwiches I peaked at around 13 then started to drop 2 hrs later I was reading around 8.1 on my own meter

The hypo's are normally morning to mid afternoon

Well the meter the doctor gave me reads about 6-7 before and around 7-9 2 hours after but I did a comparison with the one at work and mine was reading around 2 higher

Ps also veg with my main

Good morning everyone, Most mornings I'm having a slice of wholemeal toast about 05:45, about 09:00 a two egg omelette with spring onions spinach and goats cheese, 11:00 salad chicken/tuna, 14:00 fruit, 17:30 various meals with a pasta or jacket potato

Thanks for the reply, I'm not on any medication for my diabetes and have reduced my carb intake, most of the food I'm now eating is fresh prepared and I'm still having the hypo's Thanks for the reply

Just found out I'm type 2 on diet management but I keep having hypo's. Any advice would be welcome. Started with a water infection and weight loss of about a stone in 4 weeks, got my bloods tested and blood sugar was 22.3 . Three days later done a fasting blood sugar and it was 11.2. Since then...
