[QUOTE="amber22, post: 1323581, member: 237923"] I bought myself a meter soon after diagnosis and test regularly. Having read many posts on this forum I didn't bother to ask my GP. Since September this year I have been to A&E 3 times. Even thought the doctors knew I was type 2 on Metformin they didn't seem to think there was anything wrong that I was testing. In fact last week a neurologist asked me if I had tested when I first became unwell and what was the number. So yes I agree that the reason why GPs don't prescribe meters and strips to type 2s on diet only or Metformin is a budget issue. False economy. [/QUOTE]
