[QUOTE="Kathy A, post: 2156519, member: 515946"] Hi everyone. Just joined the forum hoping to get help as still find things difficult. I was diagnosed with Type 2 four years ago.I recently had a new nurse take over and she changed all the advice the previous nurse gave me. I have been struggling with weight, but have now found a book on Low Carbs for Diabetic's. This is a God send the weight is at last coming off. My biggest problem is understanding the numbers. I test at home occasionally, fasting range from 5.2 to 6.5, although I was shocked when I tested an Hour after eating to find it was 9.9. If I mention to the nurse she is not happy I self test am I doing the wrong thing. My last AbA1c was 48 but that was taken while I was still recovering from a bad virus so my liver enzymes were also high. Being retested in Nov so hope for better news. I do take 500mg of Metformin twice a day but want to get off this. I would welcome others views on whether self testing is worth doing or am I making it more confusing for myself [/QUOTE]
