Hi there. Fee here. I've just been confirmed with Type 2 which came as no surprise. I'd just like to say thanks to the administrators and contributors who have given me relevant and encouraging information as I have read through other threads. I'm still a bit bewildered to be honest but have lost 20lbs in a month through low carb and portion control. At my first Diabetic Clinic yesterday, my nurse explained that I wouldn't be issued with a glucose testing kit because I wasn't on medication. My hb thingy was just borderline. My question is, do you think I should buy a kit and if so could you recommend one? I'm needle phobic and to be honest, I'm finding the prospect of daily testing a bit worrying.
