    Carbs & Cals app

    I think 7pounds a month is exorbitant. Id never pay. Not only that but they what it monthly which makes it an even bigger lump to be doling out in one go.

    Have you been told not to test your blood sugars?

    Metformin has not reduced my appetite if anything I'm more hungry. I have only been diagnosed for 6th months and knew nothing about T2D before. I am aware that what I eat affects my BG levels but to test before food and 2 hrs after food would mean using 6 test strips per day. As these strips...
