[QUOTE="kevbee, post: 2007402, member: 279929"] Quick answer - money. The NHS don't want to spend the money on testing strips. Buy your own. The Codefree machine is basic but perfectly okay and their strips are seriously cheaper than rivals. As you've just been diagnosed, test yourself first thing in the morning to get your fasting figure. Then test again before a main meal and again 2 hours after that meal. Keep a record of the figures. And see what foods spike your figures. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
