Just curious, is it recommended that type 2 diagnosed use a blood glucose monitor routinely? I've been diagnosed over a year now controlled with diet and meds but I've not been instructed or recommended by physician to check BG levels myself. Instead I've just been using HbA1C results at 3-6 month intervals. Personally, I don't think that for me, knowing "at the moment" BG levels would be helpful, the HbA1C results are sufficient to let me know how well I'm keeping control. Can anyone who self-monitors let me know what the benefits of close monitoring are? Would it be worthwhile purchasing a monitor?
