[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 657617, member: 88961"] That's great that you're going to have a go at reducing your carbs, but to get the best out of it, you really do need a meter. Sadly our bodies don't react to all carbs in the same way. Some people can eat bread, and others not at all. It's similar with rice, and so on. Most of we T2s have to fund our own meters, but the SD Codefree, from Homehealth is as cost effective as any of us have found. The meters all cost pretty much the same, but the strips vary enormously. Most strips come in at around £20 for 50, whereas the Codefree come in at around £7 for 50, or just over £5, if you buy in modest bulk. (5 or 10 packs qualify for the discount.) The website address is: [url]http://www.homehealth-uk.com/medical/blood_glucose_monitor_testing.htm[/url] Scroll down, and it's all there. As diabetics, we qualify to buy these items VAT free. I know it's a pain that we have to self-fund, but unless you can interrogate your body's reaction to any given food, you will be rather floundering and could be either achieving little, or denying yourself needlessly. Neither being desirable, I'm sure you agree. Once you have a handle on how you react to your regularly eaten foods, you can certain test less, and some even give up testing routinely. [/QUOTE]
