[QUOTE="Osidge, post: 418042, member: 17302"] Hi Cottonsocks61 It may be that a change in diet would help your blood sugars but you do really need to be testing your blood sugar levels to see what effect various foods have on you, We are all different in the way foods affect us and you need to know what their effect is on you. It is all part of you managing your diabetes in *partnership* with your health care professionals (it should not be just a case of being told what to do). At the moment, a little bit of medicinal help is probably no bad thing but not as a substitute for the knowledge that you need to build-up about how your body copes with the foods you eat. I would certainly recommend that you approach your GP or Diabetes Nurse to ask for a meter (they often have a stock of them) and a repeat prescription for the testing strips and lancets that you will need for the meter. Take care and good luck. Doug [/QUOTE]
