[QUOTE="Dunnock Doug, post: 949115, member: 206667"] I know what you mean, the same happened to me except my GP did give me a meter. I started to use it but after a while my diabetic nurse suggested I stop it as I am also diet control with no drugs. Her advice was to save my fingers until I needed to test. That was about nine years ago, I've never used it since and my test two weeks ago at the surgery was 4.2 and top marks in every other test even my BP. Advise I can give is eat and drink moderately, cut out sugar in tea or coffee, try to go for sugar free when you can, cakes and biscuits occasionally as a treat, I call it "sinning" but it hasn't done me any harm. Just be sensible, and don't worry, there are thousands worse of than you and me. Hope this helps and good luck. [/QUOTE]
