[QUOTE="MaryCanary, post: 944049, member: 206107"] Hi, I'm newly diagnosed a week ago and I too was refused a meter (I also live in the Greater Glasgow NHS area). The diabetes nurse said they don't really serve much purpose for T2 diet-controlled. I didn't believe her, suspecting it is a cost-cutting ploy by the NHS so I went to the local pharmacist to buy one. He said the same thing but finally - reluctantly - sold me an Accu-chek Aviva. I have gone right through all ten strips that come with it and managed to get only one reading - every other test showed 'E-4' on the screen. I have followed the instructions carefully yet that is all I get. I wonder what I could be doing wrong? Anyway, I don't much like the stabbing sensation on my fingers so I probably will just leave it for now. [/QUOTE]
