I’ve always controlled my Type2 Diabetes relatively successfully by diet.
In February 21 my mum died after three months in hospital and care homes. There were also some family issues. My HBA1C levels went through the roof, so much that I’m now on Metformin. I’m hoping to come off Metformin by getting my levels down by a low carb diet.
I feel I need to monitor blood sugar levels more regularly, but not daily.
Which is an accurate, quick and cost effective monitor to use for someone that only wishes to monitor on an adhoc basis?
Can monitors be acquired via NHS prescription?
Thanks
