[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2148110, member: 506169"] Hi Juicyj, I can see your point about most people having no idea how to use a BG meter, especially as you have Type 1 experience which has to factor in 2 both short and long acting Insulin as well as the carb and protein in each meal. However I would respectfully say that [COLOR=#0000ff][I]things are much simpler for Type 2's[/I][/COLOR] (assuming they are not on Insulin or something like Gliclazide). It seems as though newly diagnosed Type 2's (in the UK) are usually [B]not[/B] put straight on medication, [COLOR=#0000b3][I]but are given misleading dietary advice and at best unhelpful advice about testing their Blood Glucose.[/I][/COLOR] I am sure that a significant proportion of newly diagnosed Type 2's would be motivated and pro-active about controlling their BG if they only had a little correct information and some encouragement. Surely it is worth at least giving them the chance to do so! [/QUOTE]
