[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2213558, member: 6467"] You were apparently talking about checking a BG meter against "Labs" which I took to mean the regular blood tests T2 Diabetics have. Although not often referred to as "Labs" in the UK. What has this to do with venous fasting blood tests at first diagnosis (when most if not all T2s wouldn't even have a BG meter or know what one was). First diagnosis usually includes a venous fasting BG test. Regular checks thereafter do not, because long term monitoring relies on HbA1c to show average BG levels. You seem strangely in love with the Libre sensor. Post edited by mod to remove unnecessary comment [/QUOTE]
