Hi everyone. I've been controlling my T2 with diet and exercise and have managed to get my blood sugar levels down to acceptable levels. I visited the doctors this week with a separate issue and she noticed that I had lancets and test strips on my repeat prescription. She asked why I have them and I said that I checked my levels as it gives me something to work to. She said that I shouldn't be checking my levels if I am controlling it with diet, she said that the readings wouldn't make sense if using the equipment when not taking blood sugar lowering medication. The doc has now cancelled my repeat prescription for the testing equipment . I'm a bit disappointed as I still like to check my levels from time to time and it gives me something you work to if they are showing a bit high. Anyone experienced similar or think the doc is correct.
Cheers Mkeee
