[QUOTE="Et2, post: 3160, member: 1554"] Jon you are lucky to get a meter to test your blood sugar, as I'm diet control I do not get one. ok my levels are not as high as some, (fasted 6.8) but it would be nice to have some back up rather than see you in a year!! Doctor?, never seen her about my diabetes at all. This is all left to the practice nurse. She has told me to ditch all sugar apart from the occasional rich tea (bisc). I do have a meter but that was from when I was pregnant and I use that a few times a week just to check things are ok. It is hard not to raid the cupboard or your childs sweetie box. I have found that hot chocolate made with skimmed milk, bournville cocoa powder and a sprinkle of splenda hits the spot (occasionally) I find it pretty hard when a friend of mine (Type 1) tests himself, finds his level is low between 3-4 and then eats a mars. It's not fair, but then I think how lucky I am that i'm not taking insulin. Take care - Ev:) <i>Evelyn Kidd</i> [/QUOTE]
