[QUOTE="DavyG, post: 1326080, member: 360485"] I was diagnosed 4 weeks ago and I haven't seen a doctor in 6 months. My Surgery nurse doing my new patient check up decided to do a full blood test and a doctor rang 2 days later asking me to pick up my prescription before the surgery closed. I know T2 patients do not get monitors so I bought one (the cheapest) but it has been absolutely invaluable in highlighting certain things. My Metformin works and my BG has gone from between 11 and 12 (14.3 once) to between 6.5 and 8.1. I notice on days when I can force myself to walk anywhere it lowers my BG even more. And I have found certain foods that cause my BG to jump very quickly and drop slowly. Seeing the benefit of what I do is a lot more encouraging than not knowing. [/QUOTE]
