I had a Heart Attack 14 years ago. I have had no problems since, but getting a BG meter can only be a good thing for your heart, as why would you want to complicate matters with your health by not preventing Diabetes? Sometimes I think some doctors (Not all) cannot see the wood for the trees, certainly not looking at the bigger picture. I like you am Pre-diabetic and like you went out and bought a BG meter on the recommendation of peeps on here. I am glad that I did as my BG has gone down by watching what foods affect me and what foods do not.I am currently classed as heart failure and recently my doctor old me i was 44 on the pre diabetes chart so i started to look into it william davis wheat belly was my source so when i asked the doctor for his recommendations on which kit to use and which monitor would qualify for free strips he said but your not diabetic so you dont qualify for anything Er ok so we just wait for me to turn diabetic and then well monitor???? I mentioned this to my heart nurse and she said well we want you to live youre life as normal as possible and not to get too hung up on health issues!!!! like youre knackered anyway so dont worry about the diabetes!! i have just bought the kit you guys have recommend and i am waiting for it ill be asking questions when i get it keep on keeping on
