[QUOTE="Eurobuff, post: 936938, member: 113391"] I'm diet controlled type 2. My DN gave me a meter but wouldn't give me the strips! She said the doctors won't prescribe them and she isn't authorised to sign prescriptions. I accepted this. I later had to see a doctor about another problem and mentioned that I was a driver, and I have no way of knowing what my BG is before I set out. He has put them on my repeat prescription. By the way, regarding the comment that if you're diet controlled you can't change you're BG, what rubbish. I've done exactly that. I'm on a LCHF. If my BG is higher than it should be, I would eat/drink less carbs in that particular meal and replace it with fat or protein. [/QUOTE]
