[QUOTE="New Haven Neil, post: 2155750, member: 510164"] As a relative newbie, (diagnosed May 19) and having achieved a reduction in HbA1c from 51 to 36, I could not have done this without a meter. I tested 3 times a day at first, and quickly learned to avoid rice, pasta and potatoes! Yes, low carb high fat works for me, (10kg weight reduction also - portion control, no cakes or biscuits any more) and I learned very quickly that a pizza took my BG to 13, and bacon and eggs leaves me at 6. So, yes, get a meter if you can afford it, it is invaluable for our condition. The NHS is mad not to fund them, due to control of BG avoiding all the expensive later complications of the disease.
