    Can I Read Anything Into My First Few Days if Meter Use

    I only ever drink espresso's so no problems with the milk or sugar bit.

The Lidl protien rolls are...

    Spare Meters

    Hi All, Quick question do people who test reguarly tend to have more than one meter and if so are they the same or do people go for something different. Reason for asking is I am currently 45 miles from my meter and there is no way I'm driving back to get it now. Thanks...

    Whats the most important thing you have learned along the way of your Type2?

    Get a meter ASAP after diagnosis. Eat to the meter. No two days are the same. This site is more help than the diabetes nurse at the doctors.

    Yes it was on this site, I will go back over the threads I have been reading to see if I can find it again. Thanks for the advice, as I tend to wake early and breakfast late is it worth dropping the early morning fasting test?
