[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2726129, member: 401801"] Aw, sorry... From one nonsensical body to another, I feel your pain -almost literally- and while I can't offer more than my commiserations, they're quite heartfelt. I hope you find some answers and proper help. As an aside, the NHS can't afford to give people strips, there's too many of us, so the general practice is to not advise people to prick... The bulk of the T2's here self-fund when they start a diet or med to see what is working for them and what isn't. I didn't have to test either, was advised against it even, as it would be "too stressful", but when I did I had my blood sugars into the normal range within a month or two, and have remained there these past 7 or 8 years now... Would not have happened otherwise. But I'm stubborn and curious. ;) Any time something changes or doesn't make sense though, testing can provide potential answers. Up to you though. Anyway, again, I do hope things'll get clearer soon, Jo [/QUOTE]
