Saw the diabetic consultant on Tuesday and she said it doesn’t matter if its 2 hours after starting or finishing a meal as long as you are consistent.

Saw the diabetic consultant today and she has cut my morning Gliciazide from 160 mg to 80 mg. And told me to cut down on the carbohydrates.

I think I have a very lazy doctor. He sends 5 repeat dispensing prescriptions for 2 months of meds to the pharmacy when I need them. I actually have 2 months in reserve as he once miscalculated and gave me a prescription for 6 months instead of 2 months. I split the difference to have a reserve.

Currently using a One Touch Verio IQ @ home and a Freestyle Optium Neo when out and about. Will use both at the same time if I think the reading is too good (doesn’t happen often) or bad

First time post but long time lurker. T2 on tablets for over ten years got my first meter shortly after diagnoses, strips and lancets on prescription. Currently using a One Touch Verio IQ @ home and a Freestyle Optium Neo when out and about. Never had a problem getting repeat prescriptions. :)
